x + y = 198
y = 1.20 x
x + 1.2 x = 198
2.2x = 198
x = 198/2.2 = 90
y = 198 - 90 = 108
Answer: 90 and 108
Answer:
108 and 90
Step-by-step explanation:
let the two numbers be x and y
from the question let y be the greater number
therefore, y = 20%x +x
y=20/100x + x
y=(20x+100x)/100
y=120x/100
y=1.2x
from the question
x+y=198______(1)
x+1.2x=198
2.2x=198
x=198/2.2
x=90
from (1)
x+y=198
90+y=198
y=108
x=90 y=108
