Question

the sum of two numbers is 210.if 8 % of one number is equal to the 7%of the other number,find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

The two numbers are 112 and 98

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

• Sum of two numbers are 210
• The 8% of a number is equal to 7%

To find :

• The number

Solution :

lets assume that the numbers are x and y

According to the question,

⟹ 8% of x = 7% of y

⟹ 8x/100 = 7y/100

⟹ 8x = 7y

⟹ x = 7y/8 .......(i)

Sum of the numbers is 210

So,

⟹ x + y = 210

From equation (i)

⟹ 7y/8 + y = 210

⟹ 15y/8 = 210

⟹ 15y = 210 × 8

⟹ y = 210*8/15

⟹ y = 1680/15

⟹ y = 112 ans.

Substituting the value of y

⟹ x + y = 210

⟹ x + 112 = 210

⟹ x = 210 - 112

⟹ x = 98 ans.
