the sum of two numbers is 200 and the two numbers are in a ratio of 4:6, what is the larger number.

Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 200

x : y = 4 : 6

x + y = 200

y = 200 - x

x : y = 4 : 6

x : (200 - x) = 4 : 6

6.x = 4(200 - x)

6x = 800 - 4x

10x = 800

x = 800/10

x = 80

y = 200 - x

y = 200 - 80

y = 120

(x,y) = (80,120)
