Problems on Numbers

 1. The sum of two numbers is 16. Three times of the first number will be five times of the second number. Find their product.

Solution:
               Let the 2 numbers are x and y.
               x+y = 16    ------ Equation 1
               3x = 5y   
               x = 5y/3
               Substitude x value in equation 1. We get,
               5y/3 + y = 16
               5y+3y = 16*3
                   8y = 16*3
                       y = 6.
               Then, x = 10.
               Their product is 6*10 = 60.

 2. The sum of two numbers is 33 and their difference is 3. Find their ratio.

Solution:
               Let the numbers be x and y.
               x+y = 33
               x-y = 3
               By solving these two equations we get,
               2x = 36
                x = 18.
                y = 15.
                Their ratio is 18:15 which is 6:5.
