Question

Pls help me with my maths assignment!!!​

Answer 1

288

Explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number then the larger number would be 120%x

We can use this to set up an equation:

`x+120\%x=528`

Convert 120% to a fraction (any percentage is just that number over 100):

`x+(120)/(100)x=528`

Simplify the fraction:

`x+(6)/(5)x=528`

Add like terms:

`(5)/(5)x+(6)/(5)x=528\\(11)/(5)x=528`

Multiply both sides by 5:

`11x=2640`

Divide both sides by 11

`x=240`

Therefore...

`120\%*240=(6)/(5)(240)=(1440)/(5)=288`

The larger number is 288
