Question
The total of two numbers is 2735. The bigger number is 4 times as much as the smaller number. What is twice of the smaller number?
Solution
Let's denote the smaller number as x and the bigger number as 4x (since it's 4 times the smaller number).
According to the problem, the sum of these two numbers is 2735. So we can write the equation:
x + 4x = 2735
This simplifies to:
5x = 2735
To find the value of x (the smaller number), we divide both sides of the equation by 5:
x = 2735 / 5 x = 547
The question asks for twice the smaller number, so we multiply x by 2:
2x = 2 * 547 2x = 1094
So, twice the smaller number is 1094.
