There are two numbers. If 10% of the first number is added to the second number, then the second number increases to its five-fourth. What is the ratio of the first number to the second number?
Pick one
A) 3 : 2	B) 2 : 7	C) 8 : 5	D) 5 : 2	E) 6 : 5
Let the two numbers be x and y.   (1/10) * x + y = (5/4) * y   (1/10) * x = (1/4) * y   x/y = 10/4 = 5/2   The answer is 5 : 2.
