Question

A number is four-fifths of the other. If their sum is 180, find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

100 and 80

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be n and $\frac{4}{5}$ n , then their sum is

n + $\frac{4}{5}$ n = 180 ( multiply through by 5 to clear the fraction )

5n + 4n = 900 , that is

9n = 900 ( divide both sides by 9 )

n = 100

and $\frac{4}{5}$ × 100 = 4 × 20 = 80

the numbers are 100 and 80
