There are two numbers and their ratio is 3 : 5. If we subtract 9 from both numbers then their ratio becomes 12 : 23, what is value is smaller number ?
From the question, let us assume that two numbers are 3x and 5x. Then, 3x - 9 5x - 9 = 12 23 23 (3x - 9) = 12(5x - 9) 9x = 99 x = 11 So numbers are 3(11) = 33, 5(11) = 55. Smaller number is 33.
From the question, let us assume that two numbers are 3x and 5x.
Then, 3x - 9 5x - 9 = 12 23
23 (3x - 9) = 12(5x - 9)
9x = 99
x = 11
So numbers are 3(11) = 33, 5(11) = 55.
Smaller number is 33.
