Question

the sum of two numbers is 2100.If 6.5% of one number is equal to 8.5% of the other find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the two numbers be x and y.

now,it is given that their sum is 2100

so we can write it as-

x+y=2100 [let consider it equation number (i)]

Now,

6.5x/100=8.5y/100

6.5x=8.5y

13x=17y

y=13x/17

putting y=13x/17 in equation (i)

x+13x/17=2100

Taking LCM

17x+13x=2100*17

30x=35700

x=1190

Now,put x=1190 in equation (i)

1190+y=2100

y=910.
