Divide 4500 into two parts such that 5% of the first part is equal to 10% of the second part.

Answer»

Let the first part and second part be x and y respectively

According to the question

\(\frac{5}{100}\text{x}=\frac{10}{100}y\)

\(\Rightarrow\) y = \(\frac{5}{10}\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}\text{x}\)

Adding them

\(\text{x}+\frac{1}{2}\text{x}=4500\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{3\text{x}}{2}=4500\)

⇒ 3x = 4500 × 2

\(\Rightarrow \text{x}=\frac{9000}{3}=3000\)

Second part = \(\frac{1}{2}\text{x}=1500\)
