8u + 9u = 17u
17u = 153
1u = 153 / 17 = 9
8u = 9 x 8 = 72
9u = 9 x 9 = 81
The numbers are 72 and 81 respectively.

The numbers are 72 and 81
Given : Two numbers are are in the ratio 8:9 if the sum of the number is 153
To find : The numbers.
Solution :
We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the two numbers)
Let, the two numbers = 8x and 9x
(obtained from the ratio 8:9)
The sum of the two numbers :
= 8x + 9x
= 17x
According to the data mentioned in the question
17x = 153
x = 153/17
x = 9
The first number = 8x = 8 × 9 = 72
The second number = 9x = 9 × 9 = 81
Hence, the numbers are 72 and 81
