Question

One number is 25% more than another number. The sum of the numbers is 135. What are the two numbers

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given -:

One number is 25% more than another number

Sum of the two number = 135

Explanation -:

Let us assume the first number as x

Then,

Second number = x + 0.25

A. T. Q

x + x + 0.25 = 135

✎ 2x + 0.25 = 135

✎ 2x = 135 - 0.25

✎2x = 135 - 0.25

✎ 2x = 134.75

`\small{✎x = (134.75)/(2) = 67.375}`

First number = 67.375

Second number = x + 0.25

= 67.375 + 0.25

= 67.625

Check

67.375 + 67.625 = 135

Hence, verified
