Two numbers are, respectively, 30% and 40% more than the third number. The ratio of the second number to the first number is:
- A26:28
- B14:13
- C39:42
- D13:14
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the third number be 100.
First number = 30% more than 100=130
Second number = 40% more than 100=140
We need to find the ratio of the second number to the first number:
Ratio=
First number
Second number
=
130
140
=
13
14
Thus, the ratio is 14:13.
First number = 30% more than 100=130
Second number = 40% more than 100=140
We need to find the ratio of the second number to the first number:
Ratio=
First number
Second number
=
130
140
=
13
14
Thus, the ratio is 14:13.
