38 per cent of first number is 52 per cent of the second number. What is the respective ratio of the first number to the second number?
Let the numbers be $$100x$$ and $$100y$$
We need to find = $$\frac{100x}{100y} = \frac{x}{y} = ?$$
Acc to ques,
=> $$\frac{38}{100} * 100x = \frac{52}{100} * 100y$$
=> $$38x = 52y$$
=> $$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{52}{38} = \frac{26}{19}$$
=> $$x : y = 26 : 19$$
