Question

Two angles are complementary. The measure of one angle is 125% of the other. Find the measures of both angles.

Answer 1

complementary angles add up to 90 degrees

Answer 2

@welshfella is correct, so we need angle 1 + angle 2 = 90 lets call angle 1:= x and angle 2:=y

Answer 3

if one angle is x the other is 1.25x
so we get the equation
x + 1.25x = 90

solve for x

Answer 4

so we know x+y=90 and
x = 1.25y

Answer 5

x=40
