alphasino: Nice job. 21G/20 is correct19G/20 that is 0.95G is also correct because the question was silent on whether it fell or rose( I mean he third instance) You only said 5% in the 3rd week and nothing more |
dejt4u: yea bro..i jst wanted it to be detailed nd self-explanatory..tnxThe price increased by 25%,so it is the same as multiplying it by 1.25,it fell by 20%,so u multiply by 0.80 that is (1-0.20) and fell again by 5%,so u multiply by 0.95 (1.00-0.05) |
The 2nd poster is correct but he used a long method to solve it. The shortest means is to multiply G x 1.25 x 0.8 x 0.95. Which is equal to 0.95G which is the same as 19/20G.....QED |
