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.

I don’t know how to make a rule:(

Answer:

*assuming you know the concept of proportionality*

since L is directly proportional to T, an increase in L will result in an increase in T

so the solution of the first part is increases

in part 2, y is inversely proportional to x

which means that an increase in y will result in a decrease in x and vice-versa

So the answer of the second part is decreases

in part 3, since x is directly proportional to y, an increase in x will result in an increase in y
