Question 817141
In a two digit positive number the unit digit is equal to the square of tens digit. The difference between original number and the number formed by interchanging the digit is 54. What is 40% of original number?

let the number be xy

y=x^2

(10x+y)-(10y+x)=54

9x-9y=54
/9
x-y=6

substitute y=x^2
x-x^2=6

x^2-x+1/4 -1/4=6

(x-1/2)^2 =6+1/4
(x-1/2)^2=25/4

take positive square root
x-1/2 = 5/2
x=5/2+1/2
x=6/2
x=3
y=9
Number = 39



x^2-x+6=0
