Question

Two numbers are in the ratio of 3 : 4. If 8 is added to each number, they become in the ratio of 4 : 5. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

According to the question,

let x be the number, so that

3x + 8 + 4x + 8 = 4x + 5x

or, 7x + 16 = 9x

or, 16 = 9x - 7x = 2x

or, x = 16/2 = 8.

2x = 2(16) = 32

3x = 3(16) = 48

The numbers are 32 and 48.
