Answer:

£8 889

Step-by-step explanation:

If a man earns 900% more than his original wage, it implies that the percentage of his original wage is 100% such that he earned 9 times his original wage. Thus 900/100 = 9

Therefore, his original wage is:

$\frac{80000}{9} = 8889$

The man's original wage is £8 889

Check

£8 889 × 9 = £80 001, approximately £80 000.

Rewrite 5/ 16 + 6/ 20 with a common denominator.

Troyanec [42]

25/80 + 24/80 = 49/80. 16 and 20 both go into 80. !6 goes in 5 times so you multiply 5 by 5. 20 goes into 80 4 times so you multiply 4 by 4. 24/80 + 25/80 = 49/80.
