The two number are :

x = 1411

y = 1079

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers = x and y

The sum of two numbers is 2490

x + y = 2490 Equation 1

If 6.5 percent of one no. is equal to 8.5 percent of the other,

Hence:

6.5% of x = 8.5% of y

0.065x = 0.085y

Make x the subject of the Formula

x = 0.085y/0.065

x = 1.308y

We substitute 1.308y for x Equation 1

x + y = 2490 Equation 1

1.308y + y = 2490

2.308y = 2490

y = 2490/2.308

y = 1078.8561525

y = 1079

x + y = 2490 Equation 1

x = 2490 - y

x = 2490 - 1079

x = 1411
