Question
A list contains nine consecutive even numbers. If the
smallest number is 16% less than the largest one, what is the sum of the second smallest and the second largest numbers?Solution
ATQ,
Let the consecutive even numbers be: x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6, x + 8, x + 10, x + 12, x + 14, x + 16.
According to question: x = 0.84 × (x + 16)
0.16x = 13.44
x = 84
So the desired sum = 84 + 2 + 84 + 14 = 184
