Answer 1

Answer:

The 1st sum of money is 38

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given above that the two sums of money are in the respective ratio of 2:5. The second sum among them is 95 and we are asked to calculate the other sum of the money. We proceed as below:

Let the first sum be m.

$\frac{m}{95} = \frac{2}{5}$

⇒ m=  $\frac{2(95)}{5}$

⇒ m = 2 × 19

⇒ m = 38

The first sum of money is 38
