Divide 110 into two parts so that one will be 150 percent of the other. What are the 2 numbers?

• 66,44 ans.
  let x and y are the two numbers then,
  x+y=110---(i)
  a/c to the problem,
  x=150% of y
  x=(3/2)*y
  putting the value of x in (i)
  1.5*y+y=110
  y=110/2.5=44
  also,x=66 using (i)
  hence,two numbers are 66 and 44.

• 44 and 66
  
  (66/44)x100=150
  so 66 is 150% of 44
  
  the two numbers are 44 and 66

• this is so simple question which is depended on 60 and 40 percent trick
  
  110 x 60 % = 66
  110 x 40 % = 44
  
  150% of 44 will be 66
  
  so the two numbers are 66 and 44
