Answer:
84 and 36
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of two numbers is 7:3.
We don't know what the numbers are, but since their ratio is 7:3, we can let the numbers be 7x and 3x. Notice that the ratio between 7x and 3x is 7x/3x = 7/3, so we still have the same ratio, 7:3.
The difference between the numbers is 48.
7x - 3x = 48
4x = 48
x = 12
7x = 7(12) = 84
3x = 3(12) = 36
The numbers are 84 and 36.
Check:
7/3 = 2.333...
84/36 = 2.333...
84 and 36 are int he same 7:3 ratio as 7:3.
84 - 36 = 48
The difference between 84 and 36 is 48 like the problem states.
This shows our answer, 84 and 36, is correct.

Answer:
0.98
Step-by-step explanation:
The investment starts at $10,000.
$10,000 is 100% of the investment.
In the first year, it loses 2% of its value. That means that after 1 year, the value of 100% of $10,000 is decreased by 2% of $10,000.
100% - 2% = 98%
After the first year, the investment is worth 98% of the original value.
98% as a decimal is 0.98
Answer: 0.98
120 x 1/100 = 120/100
120/100 = 12/10 = 6/5
The answer is 6/5
