Question

there is a ratio of 5:4 between tow numbers. if 40% of the first number is 12 then what would be the 50% of the second number​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Two numbers are in the ratio 5:4.

So, Let the two numbers be "5x" and "4x" respectively.

Now, 40% of 1st number = 12 (given)

=> 40% of 5x = 12

=> 40/100 × 5x = 12

=> 2x = 12

Therefore, x = 12/2

= 6

So, 2nd number = 4x

= 4 × 6

= 24

Therefore, 50% of 2nd number

= 50% of 24

= 50/100 × 24

= 12

Hope it helps :)
