Question

the sum of two number is 4000 is 15% of one is equal to 25% of the Other find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Let x and y be the two numbers.

First equation:

x+y=4000

Second equation (remember 15% of a number means .15 times the number):

.15x=.25y

Isolate y in the first equation:

x+y=4000

y=4000−x

Substitute this into the second equation:

.15x=.25(4000−x)

Distribute and solve for x:

.15x=1000−.25x

.4x=1000

x=2500

Substitute this into first equation written in terms of y:

y=4000−x

y=4000−(2500)

y=1500
