Question

The sum of two numbers is 99 their quotient is 8 what are the two numbers

Answer 1

The no s are 0.08 and 98.92

Answer 2

The sum of two numbers is 99 their quotient is 8. The two numbers are 88 and 11.

Let us consider the two numbers to be x and y.

Given that, the sum of the two numbers is 99.

So, we represent this above statement as:

x + y = 99

x = 99-y ...(1)

Again, the quotuent of the two numbers is 8.

So,

x/y = 8

Or, x = 8y ...(2)

Putting the value of x from (1) in (2), we get:

99 - y = 8y

Or, 9y = 99

or, y = 99/9 = 11

putting the value of y in (1), we get:

x = 8(11) = 88

The numbers are 88, 11.
