Question

The sum of two numbers is 100 and their difference is 50. The ratio between the two numbers is

Answer 1

a + b= 100
a - b =50
After adding a =75
b = 25

Answer 2

Answer:

x/y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers are x and y

so x+y=100-------------(1)

  x-y=50----------------(2)

adding (1) and (2)

2x=150.x=150/2=75

from (1)

75+y=100

y=100-75=25

so x/y=75/25=3
