Answer:
Answer is 900.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find:
Increase #500 in the ratio 16:10
Solution:
New Number: Old Number = 16:10
We are given the old number as 500.
Let the new number after increase = [tex]x[/tex]
Now, using the above ratio:
[tex]x[/tex]: 500 = 16:10
[tex]\dfrac{x}{500} = \dfrac{16}{10}\\\Rightarrow x = 500 \times \dfrac{16}{10}\\\Rightarrow x = 50 \times 16\\\Rightarrow x = 900[/tex]
Therefore, the increased value of 500 in the ration 16:10 is 900.
