Question

There are 3 numbers .The first and second numbers are 20% and 40%more than the third number.what percent is first number of the sum of the second and the third numbers?

Answer 1

Let the third number be x.

Therefore, the first number = 60% of x = 60/100 * x= 3/5 *x = 3x/5

Similarly the second number=40% of x. = 40/100 *x = 2/5 *x = 2x/5

Therefore, ratio of the numbers= 3x/5 ÷ 2x/5 = 3/2 = 3:2.

Therefore, the ratio between the two numbers is 3:2.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose third number is 10. So, First will be 12 and second one will be the 14.

Now the sum of second and the third is 24 and first number is 12.

So, 12 is the 50% of 24.
