Let
\n" ); document.write( "Smaller number = x
\n" ); document.write( "Larger number = y\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "One number is 25% of another.
\n" ); document.write( "x=25%y
\n" ); document.write( "x=25/100(y)
\n" ); document.write( "x=1/4 (y)
\n" ); document.write( "x=y/4 ............(1)
\n" ); document.write( "The larger number is 12 more than the smaller
\n" ); document.write( "y=x+12
\n" ); document.write( "Subtitue the value of x in above equation
\n" ); document.write( "y=y/4+12
\n" ); document.write( "y=(y+48)/4
\n" ); document.write( "4y=y+48
\n" ); document.write( "4y-y=48
\n" ); document.write( "3y=48
\n" ); document.write( "y=48/3
\n" ); document.write( "y=16
\n" ); document.write( "Subtitue the value of y in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "x=16/4
\n" ); document.write( "x=4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "numbers are 4 and 16\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
