The two positive numbers are 36 and 72 which gives a sum equal to 108 and the product of 36 and the square of 72 is a maximum.
Any integer greater than zero is considered a positive number. A positive number can either be written as a number or with the "+" symbol in front of it.
Let us consider the two positive real numbers as x and y. Then, their sum is written as,
x+y=108
Then, y=108-x
And the product is written as,
P=xy²
Substitute value of y in the above equation, we get,
Now, differentiate P with respect to x, and we get,
Solving the above equation to zero, we get,
Substitute values of x in y=108-x, to get values of y.
If we substitute x=108, we get the y value as zero which doesn't give the required solution.
But, if we substitute x=36, we get,
Thus, the two positive numbers are 36 and 72.

Let's first convert that amount of money into cents, which makes 336 cents. Then, let's denote the amount of money one of the boys has with x. The other boy has got 3x-12 amount of money. We can construct an equation. 
. Solving it we find that x=87 cents or $ 0.87 and the other boy holds $2.49 amount of money.
