The difference between the two numbers is 316, find the numbers.
:
Let n = one number
then
5n = another number
:
5n - n = 316
4n = 316
n = 316%2F4
n = 79, then the other number: 5(79) = 395
:
:
Check 395 - 79 = 316
Hopefully you get it right :)

The number are 420 and 84. 1/5 of 420 is 84, and 420-84 is 336.
