Answer:
184
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the constant ratio be k
So first and second number are 3k and 8k respectively.
Given their difference is 115
According to question
8 k - 3 k = 115
5 k = 115
k = 23
Thus first number = 3 × 23 = 69.
Second number = 8 × 23 = 184
From this we get larger number is 184
