Question

the sum of two numbers is 28÷25 of the first number. rhe second number is what per cent of the first

Answer 1

x+y=28/25*x=28x/25y=28x/25-x=3x/25So Second Number is 3x/25Now Percentage is 3x/25/x * 100 = 12%Sos Second number is 12% of First Number.

Answer 2

Answer:

Second number = 12% of the first number

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the second number be a and the second number be b.

Given that the sum of two numbers is $\frac{28}{25}$ of the first number.

Thus, sum of two numbers = a + b

Now, we understand that,

$a+b=\frac{28}{25} \times a$

Now, bring the denominator (25) to the left hand side.

$25(a+b)=28a$

Multiply 25 with(a+b),

$25 a+25 b=28 a$

$28 a-25 a=25 b$

$\therefore 3 a=25 b$

Hence, the second number $b=\frac{3 a}{25}$ of the first number

∴ Second number $=\frac{\frac{3 a}{35}}{a} \times 100 \%$ of the first number = 12% of the first number
