Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The prime cost = 4 times the value of material used

Former Prime cost = 540

Value of material = 540 / 4 = Rs. 135

Since ;

Prime cost = raw material + wages

540 = 135 + wages

Wages = 540 - 135

Wages = 405

Increase in raw material ; 3 : 4

New cost of raw materials = (4/3) * 135 = 180

Decrease in wage ; 4 : 5

New wage = 4/5 * 405 = 324

New prime cost :

180 + 324

= 504

What is a way to write 11 more than twice x is less than 44
madam [21]

(2x) + 11 < 44

x is multiplied by two because we are looking for twice of x. 11 is added to the 2x because we are looking for eleven more than the sum of twice of x. Since 2x + 11 is less than 44, we use the lesser than ( < ) symbol.
