Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

75% bigger

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second be y.

So:

$Average = \frac{x + y}{2}$

And:

$Average = (1 - 30\%) * x$ -----30% less than x

Substitute $Average = (1 - 30\%) * x$ in $Average = \frac{x + y}{2}$

$\frac{x + y}{2} = (1 - 30\%) * x$

$\frac{x + y}{2} = (1 - 0.30) * x$

$\frac{x + y}{2} = 0.70 * x$

$\frac{x + y}{2} = 0.70x$

Cross multiply

$x + y = 0.70x * 2$

$x + y = 1.40x$

Collect like terms

$1.40x - x = y$

$0.40x = y$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{y}{0.40}$

$x = 2.50y$

So, the average is:

$Average = (1 - 30\%) * x$

$Average = (1 - 30\%) * 2.50y$

$Average =0.70 * 2.50y$

$Average =1.75y$

Rewrite as:

$Average =(1 + 0.75)y$

Express as percentage

$Average =(1 + 75\%)y$

This means that the average is 75% bigger than the second number
