Question

Divide 4000 into two parts such that 15% of the first part equals 25% of the second part.​

Answer 1

.15x=.25y 4000-x=y
X= entire first part
Y=entire second part

,15x=,25(4000-x)
.15x= 1000-.25x
2/5x=1000
2x=5000
x=2500

4000-x=y
4000-2500=y
y=1500

Check*

.15x=.25y
.15(2500)=.25(1500)
375=375
