Question

The sum of two numbers is 50. If one of the numbers is twice of the other, then what is the
difference of the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

16.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x.

Larger number = 2x

According to Question,

2x+x = 50

=> 3x = 50

=> x = 50/3

=> x = 16.67

Hence, smaller number = 16.67

Larger number = 2×16.67 = 33.33

Difference = 33.33 - 16.67 = 16.66
