5.50% = 0.0550
25 + 0.0550(25) = 25 + 1.38 = 26.38
Let's the name the first number x and the consecutive number x + 1. The sum of both of these numbers equals to 53.
We now have our equation:
x + x + 1 = 53
Now solve for x.
x + x + 1 = 53
2x + 1 = 53 <-- Combine like terms
2x = 52 <-- Subtract 1 from each side
x = 26
So, the first number is 26 and the second number is 27.
Can you write the equation better. Do that and I'll have the answer immediately.
Answer:
