15% of 25 is the greatest of the two.

Answer:

25% of 15 is 3.75

15% of 25 is also 3.75

15 - 3.75 = 11.25

25 - 3.75 =21.25

Compare and then determine.

11.25 < 21.25

Answer: 25% x 15=25/100 x 15=.25 x 15=3.75

15% x 25=15/100 x 25=.15 x 25=3.75

Now you can clearly see that they are the same.

The ratio of two numbers is $2:3$. when 6 is subtracted from the smaller of the two numbers and 7 is added to the larger of the

patriot [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller and larger numbers be represented by S and L, respectively.

S/L = 2/3 . . . . the original ratio of the numbers

3S = 2L . . . . . multiply by 3L

(S-6)/(L+7) = 2/7 . . . . the new ratio of the numbers

7(S-6) = 2(L+7) . . . . . multiply by 7(L+7)

7S -42 = 2L +14

Using the expression for 2L from the first ratio, we can substitute to get ...

7S -42 = 3S +14 . . . . substitute 3S for 2L

4S = 56 . . . . . . . . . . .add 42-3S

S = 14 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

The original smaller number was 14.
