The sum of two numbers is 51. If one fourth of one number exceeds one fifth of another number by 6, which of the following is the smaller number? 42 15 9 36

Sagot :

Answer:

Let X be the smaller number

Then the larger number is X + 24

 

X + (X + 24) = 58

2X + 24 = 58

2X = 34

X = 17

 

So the smaller number is 17, the larger number is 41 (17 + 24)
