Question

The sum of two numbers is 2490. If 6.5 % of one number is equal to

8.5 % of the other, find the numbers.???​

Answer 1

Answer:

1st number-38,308 while 2nd number-29294

Step-by-step explanation:

I did 6.5% of x =2490(Remember let the 1st and second number be X & Y)

so, 6.5%=65/10 divided by 100(changing percentage to fraction)

then, it will be 65 multiplied by 1/ 10 multiplied by 100(65*1/10*100)

It becomes: 65/1000 x X = 2490

Then, I collect like terms:X =2490 divided by 65/1000

Then, turn Division to multiplication: 2490 multiplied by 1000/65

Thus, you divide;giving you this: 38,308 in approximation.

That's for the first part.

Second part:-

I did 8.5% of y = 2490(using the same number)

so,8.5%=85/10 divided by 100(changing percentage to fraction)

Then,it  will be 85 multiplied by 1/10 multiplied by 100(85*1/10*100)

It becomes: 85/1000 x Y = 2490

Then,I collect like terms: Y=2490 divided by 85/1000

Then,turn division to multiplication:2490 multiplied by 1000/85

Thus,you divide: giving this in approximation:29294

Therefore,1st number = 38,308

2nd number =29,294. Thank you.

Answer 2

Answer:

sum of two numbers=2490

x+y=2490

6.5x%+8.5x%=2490

15x/100=2490

15x=2490*100

x = 2490*100/15

= 166*100

= 16600

1st number= 6.5%x

= 6.5/100*16600

= 1079

2nd number=8.5%x.

= 8.5/100*16600

= 1411
