The difference between the two numbers is 1365. On dividing the larger by the smaller, the quotient is 6, and the remainder is 15. Find the smaller number.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Smaller number = x
Larger number = 6x + 15
Difference between the two numbers = 1365
⇒ (6x + 15) − x = 1365
⇒ 5x + 15 = 1365
⇒ 5x = 1350
⇒ x = 270
Smaller number = 270
