Addends

Number 839 divide into the two addends that the first was 17 greater than 60% of the second.

Determine these addends.

Result

x =  325.25
y =  513.75

Solution:

x=839−(839−17)/(1+60/100)=13014=325.25x=839 - (839-17)/(1+60/100) = \dfrac{ 1301 }{ 4 } = 325.25
x+y=839 x=17+60100y 17+60100y+y=839  y=839−171+60100=513.75 x=839−y=325.25 x+y = 839 \ \\ x = 17 + \dfrac{ 60}{100} y \ \\ 17 + \dfrac{ 60}{100} y + y = 839 \ \\ \ \\ y = \dfrac{ 839 - 17 }{ 1 + \dfrac{ 60}{100}} = 513.75 \ \\ x = 839 - y = 325.25 \ \\
