Question 773488
<pre>
Let the numbers be x and y. We need to find the ratio of the first number to the
second i.e. x/y
30% of first number = 30%*x = 0.3*x
When added to second number y, it becomes {{{y + 0.3*x}}}
When added, y becomes 140% i.e. 1.4*y
So we have the equation {{{1.4*y = y + 0.3*x}}}
Moving y to left side
{{{0.4*y = 0.3*x}}}
{{{x/y = 0.4/0.3 = 4/3}}}
Ratio of the first number to the second is {{{highlight(4/3)}}}
Hope you got it :)
