The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will define the two parts of the number and set up equations based on the information given in the question. ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let the first part be \( a \) and the second part be \( b \). The total number can be expressed as: \[ x = a + b \] ### Step 2: Set Up the First Equation According to the problem, \( 80\% \) of the first part exceeds \( 60\% \) of the second part by \( 3 \). This can be written as: \[ 0.8a = 0.6b + 3 \] Rearranging gives us: \[ 0.8a - 0.6b = 3 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 3: Set Up the Second Equation The problem also states that \( 80\% \) of the second part exceeds \( 90\% \) of the first part by \( 6 \). This can be expressed as: \[ 0.8b = 0.9a + 6 \] Rearranging gives us: \[ 0.8b - 0.9a = 6 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 4: Eliminate Decimals To make calculations easier, we can multiply both equations by \( 10 \) to eliminate the decimals: - For Equation 1: \[ 8a - 6b = 30 \] - For Equation 2: \[ 8b - 9a = 60 \] ### Step 5: Rearrange Both Equations Now we rearrange both equations: - Equation 1: \[ 8a - 6b = 30 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] - Equation 2: \[ -9a + 8b = 60 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 6: Solve the System of Equations To solve these equations, we can multiply Equation 1 by \( 9 \) and Equation 2 by \( 6 \) to align the coefficients of \( a \): - Multiply Equation 1 by \( 9 \): \[ 72a - 54b = 270 \] - Multiply Equation 2 by \( 6 \): \[ -54a + 48b = 360 \] ### Step 7: Add the Equations Now we add the two equations: \[ 72a - 54b - 54a + 48b = 270 + 360 \] This simplifies to: \[ 18a - 6b = 630 \] Dividing the entire equation by \( 6 \): \[ 3a - b = 105 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] ### Step 8: Substitute Back Now we can use Equation 3 to express \( b \) in terms of \( a \): \[ b = 3a - 105 \] ### Step 9: Substitute into One of the Original Equations We can substitute \( b \) back into Equation 1: \[ 8a - 6(3a - 105) = 30 \] Expanding this gives: \[ 8a - 18a + 630 = 30 \] Combining like terms: \[ -10a + 630 = 30 \] Subtracting \( 630 \) from both sides: \[ -10a = -600 \] Dividing by \( -10 \): \[ a = 60 \] ### Step 10: Find \( b \) Now, substitute \( a \) back to find \( b \): \[ b = 3(60) - 105 = 180 - 105 = 75 \] ### Step 11: Find the Total Number Finally, we can find the total number: \[ x = a + b = 60 + 75 = 135 \] ### Final Answer The number is \( \boxed{135} \). ---
