Question

The ratio of two numbers is 3:4 and their sum is 430.find the greater number

Answer 1

Let numbers are 3x and 4x 



Given that their sum = 430 

3x + 4x  = 430 

7x = 430 

x = 430/7 




Hence, greater number = 4x 
                                        = 4(430/7)

Greater number = 1760/7
