Question

When a number is added to another number the total becomes 150 percent of the second number. What is the ratio between the first and the second number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

first number is half of the value of the second number

Answer 2

Answer:

X:Y=½

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be X

and the second be y

According to the given condition,

X + Y = 150% Y

X + Y = 150/100 × Y

100(X + Y) = 150Y

100X + 100Y = 150Y

100X = 50Y

X/Y = 50/100

X/Y = ½

X:Y = ½
