Answer:

Smaller number-47.5

Larger number-52.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We will make the smaller number x. If the smaller number is x, then the larger number will be equal to x+5. We also know that when we add the two numbers, we get 100. We can make the equation

x+x+5=100

100-5=95

2x=95

95/2=47.5

x=47.5

The smaller number equals 47.5 and the larger number is 47.5+5 which equals 52.5
