Question

The quotient of two consecutive positive integers is 1.02. What is the sum of these two integers?

Answer 1

Answer:It is 101 Good luck!!!!!

Answer 2

Let these two integers be called x and y.

We are told:

x = y + 1 (consecutive integers) EQN (1)

and

$\frac{x}{y} =1.02$ EQN (2)

Solving this system of equations gives

$\frac{y+1}{y} = 1.02$

Solving yields

y = 50 and x = 51
