Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 10:16 . If the sum of number is 572. Find the number.

Answer 1

Answer: Numbers are 220 and 352

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Two numbers in the ration 10:16 and their sum is 572.

Solution: Let the two numbers be in the ration 10x and 16x.

By the data given:

10x + 16x = 572

26x = 572

x = 572/26

x = 22

∴ First number is 10x ⇒ 10(22) = 220

∴ Second number is 16x ⇒ 16(22) = 352

∴ Numbers are 220 and 352.
