Question

Two numbers are respectively 20% and 50% more than a third number. The ratio of the two numbers is:

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the third number be x

Let the first number be 20% of x = x/5

Let the second number be 50% of x = x/2

Therefore,

Ratio of the first and the second number

x/5:x/2

= 5:2

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the third number be x.

then,the first number=120% of x

=120x/100

=6x/5

second number=150% of x

=150x/100

=3x/2

ratio of first two no.=6x/5:3x/2

=12x:15x

=4:5
