Question

The sum of the two numbers is 99 and their quotient is 8

Answer 1

Answer:

The two numbers are 88 and 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be 'x' and 'y'

$x + y =99$

$x=99-y$

$\frac{x}{y} = 8$

$\frac{99-y}{y} = 8$

$99-y=8y$

$99 = 8y +y$

$99=9y$

$y=11$

$x+y=99$

$x+11=99$

$x=99-11$

$x=88$
