Question

the sum of two numbers is 5000. if 20% of one is equal to 30% of the other number, find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the one no. be x

Let the other number be y

Given,

20% of x =30% of y

20/100 of x =30/100 of y

(20/100)*x=(30/100)*y

x=3/2y

then , x + y=5000

3/2y+y=5000

5/2y=5000

y=10000/5=2000

x=3/2*2000=3000

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

20/100 *x=30/100 (5000-x)

2x=15000-3x

5x=15000

x=3000

other number =5000-3000=2000
