Question

The difference between two numbers is $9876543$. If the smaller number is $5803411$, find the half of the greater number.

Answer 1

Step: Finding the half of the greater number.

Let the other number be $x$.

By the problem,

$$\begin{gathered} x-5803411=9876543 \\ =9876543+5803411 \\ x=15679954 \end{gathered}$$

So , half of the larger number

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{15679954}{2} \\ =7839977 \end{gathered}$$

Hence , half of the larger number is $7839977$.
