[1] A man reduced the price of his goods by 10% ; his sales increased by 25% to $ 180000 per annum.What were they before?
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "price * units sold in revenue
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the original sales number be \"x\".
\n" ); document.write( "Let the originial price be \"p\"
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "(0.90p)(1.25x) = 180000
\n" ); document.write( "1.125px = 180000
\n" ); document.write( "px = $160,000 (this is the original revenue)
\n" ); document.write( "=========================\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "[2] A man's working hours a day were increased by 20% & his wages per hour were increased by 15%.by how much percentage were his daily earnings increased?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Origial earnings were Hours*Wage = hw
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "New earnings are (1.2h)(1.15w) = 1.38hw
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "His earnings were increased by 38%
\n" ); document.write( "===========================================
