Answer:
1233.02 to 2 D.P.
Step-by-step explanation:
4 % = 0.04
So to obtain the amount after increase by 4% we multiply by 1.04:
1235 * 1.04 = 1284.4
Decreasing by 4%: we mutriply by 1 - 0.04 = 0.96:
1284.4 * 0.96
= 1233.024.
We have 3 people: Paul, Daniel and Patricia. Let each name denote that person’s current age in years. Remember that % is the symbol for 1/100.
PAUL: (#A) Paul = Patricia – 2
DANIEL:
(#B) Daniel = 125% * Patricia = 125 * (1/100) * Patricia = 1.25 * Patricia
(#C) Ten years ago, Daniel’s age at that time would have been Daniel’s current age – 10. IE “Daniel – 10”.
Ten years ago, Patricia’s age at that time would have been Patricia’s current age – 10. IE “Patricia – 10”.
Ten years ago, Daniel’s age at that time (IE Daniel – 10) was 50% greater than Patricia’s age at the time (Patricia – 10).
IE
Daniel – 10 = 150% * (Patricia – 10)
Daniel – 10 = 1.50 * (Patricia – 10)
Daniel – 10 = 1.50 * Patricia – 1.50 * 10
Daniel – 10 = 1.50 * Patricia – 15
Daniel = 1.50 * Patricia – 15 + 10
Daniel = 1.50 * Patricia – 5
So now we have 3 equations in 3 unknowns:
(A) Paul = Patricia – 2
(B) Daniel = 1.25 * Patricia
(C) Daniel = 1.50 * Patricia – 5
Solve equations B & C simultaneously
1.25 * Patricia = 1.50 * Patricia – 5
1.25 * Patricia – 1.50 * Patricia = – 5
– 0.25 * Patricia = – 5
Patricia = (– 5) / (– 0.25)
Patricia = + 20
So now we can write the 3 people’s ages:
(a) Patricia = 20
(b) Paul = Patricia – 2 = 20 – 2 = 18
(c) Daniel = 1.25 * Patricia = 1.25 * 20 = 25

<span>Finally, we check our solution against the original question. </span>
Paul is two years younger than Patricia. ……… 20 – 2 = 18 ✔
Daniel is 25% older than Patricia. ……… 25 = 125% * 20 ✔
Ten years ago, Daniel was 50% older than Patricia. 25 – 10 = 150% (20– 10) ✔
Hope that helped :)
The abstract science of number, quantity, and space. mathematics may be studied in its own right ( pure mathematics ), or as it is applied to other disciplines such as physics and engineering ( applied mathematics ).
Answer:
t = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
3 months ------ 4500
6 months ------ x
3/6 = 4500/x
cross multiplation:
3x =27000
x = 9000,or we should have just doubled the wages, since the time doubled
3 months ------ 4500
5 months ------ y
3/5 = 4500/y
3y = 22500
y = 7500
3 months ------- 4500
t months -------- 19500
3/t = 4500/19500 = 3/13
3t = 39
t = 13
