Question 204919
Paolo's monthly salary is 1 3/7 that of Francesca's. Francesca's monthly salary is 7/5 of Dante's. What fraction of Paulo's earnings is Dante's?
-----------------------
---
P = (10/7)F
F = (7/5)D
-----------------
Substitute for "F" in the 1st equation to get:
P = (10/7)(7/5)D
P = 2D
D = (1/2)P
----
Dante's earnings is 50% of Paulo's.
