Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the other number = x
x + 40 = 73
Subtract 40 from both sides
x + 40 - 40 = 73 - 40
x = 33
Y = 12% = 0.12
y = 100(0.05) + x(0.2) / 100 + x
0.12 = 5 + 0.2x / 100 + x
0.12( 100 + x ) = 5 + 0.2x
12 + 0.12x = 5 + 0.2x
7 = 0.08x
x = 87.5
hope this help
First step: Isolate the term that has x. To do that, subtract 2y from both sides.
Now divide both sides by 3.
