A number is divided into two parts such that one part is 10 more than the other.If the two parts are in the ratio 5:3 find the number and the two partsplease help me

Answer»

Let the smaller PART of the number be x
Then the LARGER part is x+10
Given, (x+10):x = 5:3
3 × (x+10) = 5x
2x = 30
x = 15

Therefore, the PARTS are 15 and 25
And the number is 15+25 = 40
