Question

The sum of two number is $240$ if $65\%$ one number is equal to $85\%$
of the other , find the remembers:

Answer 1

Let the numbers be $x$ and $y$

Now, $x+y=240\frac{65}{100}x=\frac{85}{100}y\Rightarrow x=\frac{85}{65}y$

Now, $y+\frac{85}{65}y=240\Rightarrow \frac{150}{65}y=240\Rightarrow y=\frac{240\ast 65}{150}=104$

Similarly, $x=136$
