Ratio and Propagation:
1. X and Y together have 91. If 3/4 of X is equal to 9/2 of Y's amount. How much amount does Y have?
Solution:
X+Y = 91 ----- Equation 1
3/4 X = 9/2 Y
X = 6Y.
From equation 1, we get
6Y+Y = 91
7Y = 91
Y = 13.
2. Two numbers are respectively 30% and 70% more than the first number. The ratio of first 2 numbers is:
Solution:
Let the ratio be a:b:c.
a: (130/100)a: (170/100)a
10: 13: 17.
a = 10*13 = 130.
b = 13*13 = 169.
