Number System
If the numerator of a fraction is decreased by 12.5% and the denominator is increased by 180% the resultant fraction is 1/2. What is the original fraction ?
Let the first number be x and the second number be y.∴ y² = 82 - 15 = 64 - 15 = 49∴ y = 7∴ x² + 73 = 568= x² + 343 = 568= x² + 568 - 343 = 225∴ x = √225 = 15∴ 15 x 3/5 = 9
