Question

The sum of two numbers is 3000. If 8% of one number is equal to 12% of the other, find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the numbers be x,y

Given 8% of x is 12% of y

⟹

100

8

x=

100

12

y

⟹2x=3y⟹x=

2

3y

And also Sum of two numbers is 3000

⟹x+y=3000

⟹

2

3y

+y=3000

⟹

2

5y

=3000

⟹y=1200⟹x=

2

3×1200

=1800

The numbers are 1200,1800

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the numbers be x,y

Given 8% of x is 12% of y

⟹100/8x=100/12y

⟹2x=3y⟹x=23y

And also Sum of two numbers is 3000

⟹x+y=3000

⟹23/y+y=3000

⟹25y=3000

⟹y=1200⟹x=23×1200=1800

The numbers are 1200,1800
