Hi,  
One positive number{{{highlight(y)}}} is one-fifth of another number{{{highlight(x)}}}
Question states*** difference between the two numbers is 116
 x - y = 116   {{{y = x/5}}}
{{{ x - x/5 = 116}}}  |Multiplying thru by 5 so as all denominators = 1
   5x - x = 580
       4x = 580
        x = 145   and y = 29   {{{y = x/5}}}
and...
 {{{145-29 = 116}}}
