1.	The sum of two numbers is 5000. if 20% of one is equal to 30% of the other number, find the number
Answer» ANSWER: Step-by-step explanation: LET the one no. be x Let the other number be y Given, 20% of x =30% of y 20/100 of x =30/100 of y (20/100)x=(30/100)y x=3/2y then , x + y=5000 3/2y+y=5000 5/2y=5000 y=10000/5=2000 x=3/2*2000=3000

The sum of two numbers is 5000. if 20% of one is equal to 30% of the other number, find the number

Answer»

Step-by-step explanation:

LET the one no. be x

Let the other number be y

Given,

20% of x =30% of y

20/100 of x =30/100 of y

(20/100)*x=(30/100)*y

x=3/2y

then , x + y=5000

3/2y+y=5000

5/2y=5000

y=10000/5=2000

x=3/2*2000=3000
