Question

Increase 1000 in the ratio 2:5

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the new quantity be x.

x:1000=2:5

x/1000=2/5

(multiply both side by 1000)

$1000 \times \frac{x}{1000} = 1000 \times \frac{2}{5}$

$x = 400$

Answer 2

Answer:

1400

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5×1000=400

1000+400=1400
