Correct option is C

Let the larger number be x.Then, the smaller number is 60% of x=60100×x=0.6xAccording to the question:x=0.6x+32Subtract 0.6x from both sides:x0.6x=32=>0.4x=32Now divide both sides by 0.4:x=320.4=80Larger number =80\textbf{Let the larger number be } x. \\\text{Then, the smaller number is } 60\% \text{ of } x = \frac{60}{100} \times x = 0.6x \\[10pt]\text{According to the question:} \\x = 0.6x + 32 \\[10pt]\text{Subtract } 0.6x \text{ from both sides:} \\x - 0.6x = 32 \Rightarrow 0.4x = 32 \\[10pt]\text{Now divide both sides by } 0.4: \\x = \frac{32}{0.4} = 80 \\[10pt]\boxed{\text{Larger number } = 80}​​
