Question

The sum of two numbers is100. If the fifth part of one is two more than the fourth part of the other ,then find both the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the numbers be and y.

According to the question,

x = 100 - y

x/5=2+y/4

x/5 = (8 + y)/4

4x = 40 + 5y

putting the value of x

4(100-y) = 40 + 5y

400 - 4y = 40 + 5y

400 -40 = 5y + 4y

360 = 9y

y = 40

x = 100 - 40 = 60

so the number is 60 and 40 ans...
