(1) If the shirt costs X, then one third of the shirts price is 1/3 X = X/3. The tie is 30% more then one third os the shirt (or X/3), therefore: tie = X/3 + 30 % * X/3 = X/3+ 30/100 * X/3 = X/3 + 30X/300 = X/3+ X/10 = 10X/30 + 3X/30 = 13X/30.
Shirt + tie = 516
X + 13X/30 = 516
30x/30 + 13X/30 = 516
43X/30 = 516
43X = 516*30 = 15480
X = 15480/43 = 360, that's the shirt's price
The tie's price is 13X/30 = 13*360/30 = 156.
Let us do the check: 360 + 156 = 516
(2) Let the smaller part be x, the larger 32-x. If we divide 32-x by x, then we'll get the quotient 2, and the remainder 5. That means
(32-x):x=2 (5) =>
32-x = 2x+5 =>
32=2x+5+x =>
32=3x+5 =>
3x+5=32 =>
3x = 32-5 =>
3x=27 =>
x=27:3 =>
x=9
The smaller part is 9, the larger is 32-9=23. If we divide 23:9, we'll get the quotient 2, and the remainder 5, because 23=2*9+5.
I hope this could help.

For the second half, let's use L to be largest part and S to be smaller part. Then we have
S + L = 32.
Next when we divide L by S we get 2 remainder 5. This means
L = 2S + 5
Substitute this into the first equation.
S + L = 32
S + (2S + 5) = 32
3S + 5 = 32 [adding S terms together]
3S = (32 -5) [take 5 from both sides]
3S = 27
S = 9 [divide 3 through both sides]
therefore L = 32 - 9 = 23.
Check 23 divide 9 = 2 with 5 remainder! Yeah, we got it!!!
Now for Part 1)
Cost of shirt and tie is 516. Use T for cost of Tie and S for cost of shirt. So we have
S + T = 516.
Next, the tie costs 30% more than one third the cost of the shirt. Okat this IS a bit tricky. Break it down ...
The tie cost 30% more than (S/3).
T = (S/3) * [130%] it's 100% of (s/3) PLUS another 30%
we need to change 130% to 1.3. This gives
T = (S/3)*1.3
Now SUBSTITUTE into first equation
S + T = 516
S + (S/3)*1.3 = 516.
USE YOUR CALCULATOR HERE. The total number of S's on the RHS are 1 + (1/3)*1.3 = 1.4333333
So we have 1.433333 S = 516. Divide by 1.4333333
S = 516/1.4333333 = 360.
So T = 516 - 360 = 156. Now, it says the tie costs 30% more than a third the cost of the shirt. Okay, a third the cost of the shirt is 360/3 = 120. Now is 156 30% more than 120. Let's see
30% of 120 = 0.3 * 120 = 36. So the Tie = 120 + 36 = 156! WE GOT IT!!!! A tricky one too.
Our answer: The tie costs 156 and the shirt costs 360.

Let a be the cost of the shirt and b the cost of the tie.
a + b = 516
b = 1.3 a / 3or
3b = 1.3a
a + 1.3a/3 = 516
4.3a = 516 x 3 = 1548
a = 1548/4.3 = 360
Shirt costs 360 and the tie 156
Next question:
Let a and b the two parts of 32.
a + b = 32
b/a = 2 + 5/a = (2a + 5) / a
b = 2a + 5 = 32 - a
so, 32 - a = 2a + 5 or 3a = 32 - 5 = 27 and a = 27/3 = 9
b = 23
23 and 9 are the two numbers that satisfy the condition.

1) Call cost of shirt S and cost of tie T
T = 1.3 * (1/3) * S
T + S = 516
1.3 * 1/3 *S + S = 516
1.43333S = 516
S = $360
T = (plug back in into first equation) $156
2) Use logic
Your first number must be at least twice as big as your second
32/3 = 10.6667
10.6667 * 2 = 21.3333
so, your first number must be bigger than 21.333 and your second number is smaller than 10.6667
23 and 9 work perfectly
23/9 = 2 Remainder 5

s+t=516
and t= (1/3)*s*0.30
therefore
s+(1/3)*s*0.30=516
s+0.1s=516
1.1s=516
s=469
Hence, t from equation 1 is 516-469=47
===============
For the second question
the numbers are 23 and 9
solution is
x+y=32
(x-5)/y=2 as quotient is 2
solving it
from second equation,
2y=x-5
and y=(x-5)/2
putting in ist equation,
x+ (x-5)/2=32
solving for x u get 23,
from i
23+y=32
therefore y=9.

t + s = 516
t = 1.3 * (s/3)
Substitute and solve for s, then solve for t.
*****************************
32 = a + b
b = 2a + 5
Again, substitute and solve.
