Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 8:7. Their sum is 60. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\pink{let \: the \: numbers \: be \: 8x \: and \: 7x}$

$\purple{ = 8x + 7x = 60}$

$\purple{ = 15x = 60} \\ \purple{ x = \frac{60}{15} }$

$\purple{x = 4}$

Therefore the numbers are

$\green{8x = 8 \times 4 = 32}$

$\green{7x = 7 \times 4 = 28}$
