Question

The sum of two numbers is 180. If one number is 25% more than the other number, what are the numbers?

Answer 1

n = first number

1.25n = second number

 

1.25n + n = 180

2.25n = 180

n = 80

1.25n = 100

Answer 2

Multiply 180 by 25% : 180*.25= Answer

 

(That will be your first  number)

 

Take the "answer" and subtract it by 180: 180-Answer
