Answer 1

Answer:

Hey mate

your answer is as follows

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start

Let one number be x and other number be y

According to question

6x/100 = 8y/100

= x + y = 3500

= 8x + 8y = 3500 * 8

=6x -8y = 0

Solve the equation

= 14x = 3500 * 8

= x =2000

And y = 1500

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let one of the numbers be x and other be y.

here,

6*x/100=8*y/100

or 6x=8y

or x= 8y/6= 4y/3 ......(i)

Again,

x+y=3500

Substituting value of x from (i) in the above eqn,

4y/3 +y=3500

or (4y+3y)/3=3500

or 7y = 10500

or y=1500

also,

x=4y/3=4*1500/3=2000

Hence the numbers are 2000 and 1500
