Question

the sum of two number is 5000 . if 20% of one no. is equal to 30% of other no. find the no.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 2000 and 3000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 no. be x and y

so , According to question

20% of x = 30 % of y

20x/100=30y/100

20x=30y

2x=3y

x=3y/2 -(1)

And, x+y = 5000 -(2)

Put the value of x from equation -(1) to equation -(2)

3y/2 + y = 5000

5y/2 = 5000

5y = 2 X 5000

5y = 10000

y= 10000/5

y= 2000

So, x= 5000-2000

x= 3000
