What two consecutive integers does the √2 fall between

1 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the perfect squares on either side of 2

1 < 2 < 4, thus

< < , that is

1 < < 2

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
