Let the length of the shorter road = x metresNow, length of the longer road = x + 7
5% of xSo, x + 7
5% of x= 430⇒x + 7
5100×x = 430⇒x + 3x40 = 430⇒43x40 = 430⇒x = 400So, length of shorter road = 400 m

There are two roads from town A to town B. One of them is 7.5% of itself longer than the other. If the longer road is 430 meters long find the length of the shorter road?
