Answer:

49, 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be x and other be y.

According to the first condition:

x + y = 86.....(1)

According to the second condition:

x = y + 12..... (2)

Substituting x = y + 12 in equation (1)

y + 12 + y = 86

2y = 86 - 12

2y = 74

y = 74/2

y = 37

x = y + 12

x = 37 + 12

x = 49

Thus, the two numbers are 49 and 37

A family paid $26.400 as a down payment for a home. If this represents 16% of the price of the home, find the price of the home.

Vlada [557]

The correct answer is:

How to find X if P percent of it is Y. Use the percentage formula Y/P% = X

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: Y/P% = X
Y is 26,400, P% is 16%, so the equation is 26,400/16% = X
Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100.
Converting 16% to a decimal: 16/100 = 0.16
Substitute 0.16 for 16% in the equation: 26,400/0.16 = X
Do the math: 26,400/0.16 = X
X = 165,000
So $ 165,000 is the price of the home.

I hope this helps you!!
