Answer:
1/26
Step-by-step explanation:
We set up a proportion: 84/?= 56/100
Cross multiply: 56*?= 84*100
⇒ ?= 84*100/56= 150
56% of 150 is 84.
Answer:
Let x and y be the two numbers. Then
yx=57 and x−y=20
Cross multiplying the proportion
5x=7y or y=75x
So, x−y=20
x−75x=20⇒77x−5x=72x=20
⇒x=2140=70
y=75x=75×70=50
So smaller number is 50.
Check :yx=5070=57 and 70−50=20
