The larger of two numbers is 12 more than the smaller number. if the sum of two numbers is74, find the two numbers

43, 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick two numbers for variables, like a and b.

Let a be the greater number.

The largest of two numbers is 12 more than the smaller number translates to (the word "is" means equals sign)

a = 12 + b

They told you the sum of the two numbers is 74, and that translates to (sum means to add)

a + b = 74.

Now, solve for b, so you get

b = 74 - a.

Plug this back into the first equation of a = 12 + b and you get

a = 12 + (74 - a)

Now, solve for a

a = 86 - a

2a = 86

a - 43

Now, you need to answer the question asked and find b.  Well, look at your two original equations

a + b = 74

43 + b = 74

b = 31

option: d is correct

step-by-step explanation:

42%

step-by-step explanation:

we know,

total people = 60

total males = 25

percentage of males

= 25/60 × 100

= 25/6 × 10

= 25/3 × 5

= 125 / 3

= 41.

rounding of = 42%
