3. (17 points) Divide the number 90 into two parts such that $40\%$ of one part is 15 more than $30\%$ of the other part. Write the larger of the two parts in your answer.
Answer: 60

Solution. Let one part of the number be $x$, then the other part will be $90-x$. We get the equation $0.4 \cdot x = 0.3 \cdot (90 - x) + 15$, solving it we get $x = 60$, and the other part of the number is 30.
