Question 149

Of the two numbers, 48 per cent of first number is 60 per cent of the second number. What is the respective ratio of the first number to the second number ?

Solution

Let the numbers be $$100x$$ and $$100y$$

We need to find = $$\frac{100x}{100y} = \frac{x}{y} = ?$$

Acc to ques,

=> $$\frac{48}{100} * 100x = \frac{60}{100} * 100y$$

=> $$48x = 60y$$

=> $$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{60}{48} = \frac{5}{4}$$

=> $$x:y = 5:4$$
