Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the above information, we can make the first part to be;

First part = y + 10

Then,

Second part = y

y + 10 : y = 5 : 3

(y + 10) / y = (5) / (3)

Cross multiply,

3y + 30 = 5y

Collect like terms

5y - 3y = 30

2y = 30

y = 15

Therefore, substituting the value of y,

First part = y + 10

First part = 15 + 10

First part = 25

Second part = y

Second part = 15

Number = First part + Second part

Number = 25 + 15

Number = 40
