Question

One positive number is one-fifth of another number. The difference between the two numbers is 328, find
the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 410 , 82

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the another number be x

Positive number = $\frac{1}{5}x$

Their difference = 328

$x - \frac{1}{5}x=328\\\\\frac{x*5}{1*5}-\frac{1}{5}x=328\\\\\frac{5x-x}{5}=328\\\\\frac{4x}{5}=328\\\\x=328*\frac{5}{4}\\\\x=82*5$

x = 410

Positive number = $\frac{1}{5}*410=82$

The numbers are 410 , 82
