The sum of two number is 2490.if 6.5% of the first number is equal to 8.5% of the second numbers, find the number.

 Let the first nuumber=x

Then the second number= (6.5%)×x/8.5% =13x/17

According to question, The sum of two number is 2490.

So, x+13x/17=2490

17x+13x/17=2490

30x/17=2490

30x=2490×17

x=2490×17/30

x=83×17

x=1411

Hence first number =x=1411

and second number==13x/17=(13×1411)/17=1089
