Question

The ratio of two numbers is 5 : 8. If 35 is added to
each number, then the ratio becomes 5:7. Find
the numbers.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

70    ;    112

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be 5x ; 8x

hence,(5x+35):(8x+35) = 5:7

     or, 5(x+7) : (8x+35) = 5:7

     or,   (x+7) : (8x+35) = 1:7

     or,            7(x+7)     =     (8x+35)

      or,           7x+49     =      8x+35

      or,                x        =       49-35 = 14

hence the numbers are = (5×14) and (8×14) = 70 and 112
