Let the numbers be represented by a and b with a < b.
Then a = b.25/100 and b = a + 12
As a = b.25/100 then 100a = 25b : 4a = b
As b = a + 12 then substituting for b gives, 4a = a + 12 : 3a = 12 : a = 4.
If a = 4 then b = a + 12 = 4 + 12 = 16
The two numbers are 4 and 12.

How do you know whenether a number is a multiple of another number?
Divide the smaller number into the larger number. If it comes out evenly with no remainder, the larger number is a multiple of the smaller number. All even numbers are multiples of two.
When is the GCF of two numbers one of the two numbers?
When the smaller one is a factor of the larger one. (That also means the larger one is a multiple of the smaller one.) The smaller number is the GCF of both.
What is the fortieth percentile?
It is the value of the variable such that 40 percent of observations are smaller and 60 percent are larger.
Why can you subtract a larger number from a smaller number?
Numbers don't stop in either direction. If you subtract a larger number from a smaller one, the answer will be negative.
What is the process of changing smaller numbers to larger multiply or divide?
multiply
What is smaller when its larger and larger when its smaller?
Negative Numbers.
What is another name for a pair of numbers whose greatest common factor is the same as one of the numbers?
In that case, the smaller number is a factor of the larger one. The larger one is a multiple of the smaller one.
Is 9 is smaller?
"smaller" is a binary operator: you need two numbers, 9 and another one, before you can decide whether 9 is smaller, the same or larger.
The sum of two numbers is 51 the larger number is 23 more than the smaller what are the numbers?
smaller no.14 larger 37
What is the Lcms of 5 and 15?
If one number is divisible by another (in this case, 15 is divisible by 5), then the least common multiple is equal to the larger of the numbers (15), and the greatest common factor is equal to the smaller of the numbers (5).If one number is divisible by another (in this case, 15 is divisible by 5), then the least common multiple is equal to the larger of the numbers (15), and the greatest common factor is equal to the smaller of the numbers (5).If one number is divisible by another (in this case, 15 is divisible by 5), then the least common multiple is equal to the larger of the numbers (15), and the greatest common factor is equal to the smaller of the numbers (5).If one number is divisible by another (in this case, 15 is divisible by 5), then the least common multiple is equal to the larger of the numbers (15), and the greatest common factor is equal to the smaller of the numbers (5).
How do you find the percent increase from one number to another?
-- divide the larger number by the smaller one-- subtract '1' from the answer-- multiply what's left by 100You now have the percentage increase from the smaller number to the larger one.
What are smaller numbers that divide evenly into larger numbers called?
divisors
How do you find what percent one number is of another?
divide the smaller number by the larger number, and multiply by 100. 60 is 75% of 80.
How do you know whenether a number is a multiple of another number?
Divide the smaller number into the larger number. If it comes out evenly with no remainder, the larger number is a multiple of the smaller number. All even numbers are multiples of two.
The larger of two numbers is 8 more than 4 times the smaller if the larger number is increased by four times the smaller the result is 40?
The larger of two numbers is 8 more than 4 times the smaller if the larger number is increased by four times the smaller the result is 40. From this statement, we can calculate the values of the numbers where you get the value of the larger number to be 24 and that of the smaller number to be 4.
When is the GCF of two numbers one of the two numbers?
When the smaller one is a factor of the larger one. (That also means the larger one is a multiple of the smaller one.) The smaller number is the GCF of both.
Would a cell placed in distilled water and then transferred to a 5 percent salt solution get larger or smaller?
get larger then smaller... XD
