The difference between two numbers is 40.They are in the ratio 9:7. What are the numbers?

Sagot :

let 'x' be the factor for the ratio to be expressed as 9x:7x
since the difference is 40 then,
9x - 7x = 40
2x = 40
x = 20
9x = 9(20)
      = 180
7x = 7(20)
     =140
Therefore the numbers are 180 and 140.
