Question

The sum of two numbers is 504, their quotient is 3, and the remainder is 44. What are those numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

• 378 and 126

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the two numbers are x and y.

According to the given information:

• The sum of the two numbers is 504: x + y = 504.
• Their quotient is 3: x/y = 3.
• The remainder is 44: x/y = r44.
• To find the values of x and y, we can use the equations above.
• From equation 2, we can rewrite it as x = 3y.
• Substituting this value of x in equation 1, we get: 3y + y = 5044y = 504y = 504 / 4y = 126
• Now, we can substitute the value of y back into equation 2 to find x: x = 3 * 126; x = 378

Therefore, the two numbers are 378 and 126.
