40 % of a number x is 60 % of another number y. If sum of the two numbers is 1. Then the number x will be

• x will be 0.6.
  y will be 0.4.
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(1)
• .4X=.6Y
  x+Y = 1
  
  By solving these two equations we have answer X= 0.6 and y = 0.4

• 40x/100=60y/100, by this
  x becomes: x=6y/4
  x+y=1(given). substitute x=6y/4in equation x+y=1. by this we get y=2/5 and x=3/5

• ooops miss type
  
  x=0.6 only

• x will be 0.7

• 40x100=60y100
  4x=6y
  y=4x6
  x+y=1
  (4x6)+x=1
  4x+6x=6
  10x=6
  x=0.6 similarly y=0.4

• x=0.6 ans.
  since,0.4*x=0.6*y
  y=(2/3)*x
  since,x+y=1
  [(1)+(2/3)]*x=1
  x=3/5=0.6 ans

• (40/100)x=(60/100)y
  2x=3y
  and we know x+y=1
  x+2x/3=1
  x=3/5=0.6
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
• (40/100)X = (60/100)Y;=>(4/6)X=Y;-----(1)
  X+Y=1;----(2)
  X=3/5;Y=2/5; ANS

• sp: 40/100x=60/100y
  sp: x+y=1
  * 2x=3y
  * y=2x/3
  * x+2x/3=1
  x=3/5=.6

• x+y=1
  40/100(x)=60/100(y)
  2(x)=3y
  2(1-y)=3y
  -2y+2=3y
  y=2/5
  x=9/5
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 0.4x=0.6y
  0.4x-0.6y=0
  and sum of two no is
  x+y=1
  than solve both equation x=0.6
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• let x be one number
  and y be second number
  x=40/100 and y=60/100
  x+y=1
  therefore x=0.4 and y=0.6
