1. Step-by-step explanation:

   Let the numbers be p and q and p is greater than q.

   Then p – q = 45% of (p + q)

   ⇒ p – q =

   45

   (p + q)

   100

   ⇒ p – q =

   9

   (p + q)

   20

   ⇒ 20p – 20q = 9p + 9q

   ⇒ 20p – 9q = 20q + 9q

   ⇒ 11p = 29q

   ⇒

   p

   =

   29

   or 29 : 11

   q 11
