Answer 2

Answer:

Smaller no. is 480

Step-by-step explanation:

let the bigger no. be x

Smaller no. be y

3x:4y i.e. 3x = 4y

from above: x = (4/3)y

Now as per given condition:

(15/100)x + 53 = (25/100)y + 29

15x + 5300 = 25y + 2900

i.e. 25y - 15x = 2400

i.e. 5y - 3x = 480

but x = 4/3 y

5y - 3(4/3)y = 480

5y - 4y = 380

y = 480
