DAY 300

Split 34 into two parts such that 4/7 of one part equals 2/5 of the other.

Answer:

14 and 20.........Let x and y be the two parts:

x + y = 34

4/7 x = 2/5 y

x = 14/20 y

14/20 y + y = 34

14 y + 20 y = 680

34 y = 680

y = 20

It follows that x= 14

Check:

4/7 of 14 = 8

2/5 of 20 = 8
