Question

Two numbers are 20%&50% more than the rhird number theratio of two numbers is

Answer 1

The ratio is 2: 5

Let's take the third number as 'x'

then we have,

20% of x = 20/100 * x

=20x/100

50% of x = 50/100 *x

= 50x/100

Now we have,

20x/100 : 50x/100

= 20x/100 / 50x/100

= 20x/100 * 100/50x

= 2000x/5000x

=2/5

=2:5
