Wang can do the job in 20 days or 1/20 of the job each day
\n" ); document.write( "after 5 days Wang has done 5/20 or 1/4 of the job
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "Lee can do the job in L days or 1/L of the job each day
\n" ); document.write( "working together Wang and Lee get 1/20+1/L of the job done each day
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "There is only 3/4 of the job left when Lee joins in and it takes 5 days
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "5(1/20+1/L)=3/4 solve for L
\n" ); document.write( "1/4+5/L=3/4
\n" ); document.write( "5/L=3/4-1/4=1/2
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "L=10, so it takes Lee 10 days to do the job by himself which is twice as fast as Wang of 20 days to get the job done
\n" ); document.write( "==
\n" ); document.write( "So if Wang gets $100/day then Lee should get $200/day\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
