    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the numbers be β€˜x’ and β€˜y’ respectively.

    According to the question,

    β‡’ 0.55x = 0.33y

    β‡’ x/y = 0.33 / 0.55 = 3/5

    So the numbers are in the ratio 3 : 5

    Sum of the numbers = 3 + 5 = 8 units = 352

    β‡’ 1 unit = 352 Γ· 8 = 44

    β‡’ Difference = (5 – 3) units = 2 units = 88
