Question

Two number are in the ratio 4:3 if the sum of the numbers are 147 find the numbers

Answer 1

Given two numbers are in the ratio 8:3

so let the number be 8x and 3x  

According to the question we can write as 8x+3x=143

Which implies 11x=143

Again by transpoing x=143/11

Therfore x=13

So the number are 8x=8(13)=104 and 3x=3(3)=39

Answer 2

Answer:

$4x + 3x = 147 \\ 7x = 147 \\ x = 147 \div 7 \\ x = 21$
