Its on my dp na...

Intelligent girls.
Intelligent girls are most times gentle anyway.

So what next

Vengeance:




Let work to be done = W
Let total duration of work = TD = 150 days = 150 * 24hrs =
Let initial employees = IE = 75
Let work phase one = 90 days
Let work time phase one per employee per day = WT1/E/D = 8hrs
Work duration per employee per phase one = WD/E/1 = WT1/E/D * 90 = 8 * 90 = 720hrs = 30 days
Total work duration per IE per phase one = TWD/IE/1 = WD/E/1 * 75 = 2250 days

After 90days, workdone by 75 employees = 2W/7
=> 2W/7 = 2250 days; W = 7875 days


[Remainder work to be done / Phase two]
Let balance days of work phase 2= BDW2 = 150 - 90 = 60 days
Let remainder work to be done = RW
Now,
Remainder work to be done = 5W/7 = 5625 days

Let WT2/E/D = 10hrs
Let number of additional workers = AW = z
Let total employees = TE = 75 + z
Work duration per employee per phase 2 = WD/E/2 = WT2/E/D * BDW2 = 10 * 60 = 600hrs = 25 days

=> Total work duration per employee per TE per phase two = TWD/TE/2 = WD/E/2 * TE = 5625 days

=> 25 days * (75 + z) = 5625 days;
75 + z = 225;
z = 225 - 75 = 150

Therefore additional workers required to finish the job done on schedule = 150 men

Nice one bro

I've this for you guys....

A contractor agreeing to finish a work in 150 days employed 75 men each working 8 hours daily. After 90 days, only 2/7 of the work was completed. Increasing the number of men by …………. each working now for 10 hours daily, the work can be completed in time.


CarlOzeki, Snowland, Tinkybabe, hopelink1, paranorman, vengeance, kobonaire.... YOUR ATTENTIONS ARE NEEDED

Let
Ronaldo =R = 1.5X
Bale =B = 1.0X
Isco =I = 0.75X
Messi =M = 2.4X

N.B
For Messi
0.45*R = M(in 14weeks 5 days= 103 days)
0.45*1.5X =M(in 103 days)
0.45*1.5X*365/103 = M( in 365 days)
M = 2.4X(approx)

There take home pay after tax(55% of earnings),
R= 0.55*1.5X =0.825X.
B = 0.55*1.0X =0.55X.
I = 0.55*0.75 = 0.4125X.
M = 0.55*2.4 = 1.32X.

Tinkybabe:
Thanks for the compliment

But I quite disagree with your no 2, no doubt the Op is the cause of this problem because of the great ambiguity of the question

Anyway, here go..I disagree both grammatically and logically

1) For clarity sake- let's use "increase" instead of markup.
If he meant the final price , it would have been phrased as marked up price ie increased price not increase price /price increase.

Price increase refers to the amount of money added to the original to arrive at the final price.

2) If we are to go with your claim, expressing the final price as a percentage of profit made defies business reasoning .

This is because your profit is the difference between the cost and selling price and making the mark up price your final price to get percentage profit means the total selling price is a profit and we know this isn't true.

Like you said, the question might be in the wrong and the solution i provided defies logical reasoning but then there is nothing like "marked" up price, what i know is "markup" price. Pay attention to how its written "markup" not "mark up", its a word on its own derived from two other words. So in a way it does not concur to the same rule behind "increase" and "increased".
I believe if it is to be written in its past tense it would be "markuped" and you would agree that there is no word like this.

Again, your solution is only logical but not factual according to the question(if we agree to stay true to its content).

You're logically right but factually wrong.

CarlOzeki: The easiest and quickest way to solve the question is to pick a number

Assume Kelly had #100.
She leaves home with 20% of that (#20) and leaves #80 at home.

The manufacturers list price is 25% higher than her #20. This is 125% or 1.25 x 20 which is #25 (Manufacturer List price)

The inflation adjusted price is 50% of what she left at home. This is 50% or 0.5 x 80 which is #40 (Inflation adjusted price)

The inflation adjusted price represents a 14 2/7% mark up on the original price. 14 2/7 is 100/7%. Since it's a markup, the inflation price is (100 + {100/7})% of the original price. This is 800/7%. Changing that to fraction is 8/7. Hence, 8/7 x original price = Inflation adjusted price = #40.
Original price = 40 x 7/8 = #35

We have all the prices now.

1. Difference between original price and initial/manufacturer price = 35 - 25 = 10
10/100 = 0.1
The answer to the first question is 10% if considering her total #100 or 12.5% if considering only the money she left at home.

2. This question makes no sense because the item has not actually been sold so there can't be any profit.
If you assume the profit from selling at the markup price of #40 and also assuming that the cost price is the manufacturer list price of #25, then the: profit is #15. Hence the markup price percentage of the profit is 40/15 = 266.7%

You're very correct bro, the first question is however considering the whole amount she had initially, so the ans is 10%.

snowland: This is the only person that got it right. Even the OP got it wrong.
Answer 1: 10%
Answer 2: 33.33%

Q1- I agree it's 10%
Q2- The question says what % of the profit is
the markup price?
There is a difference btw "markup" and
"markup price".
*markup--- is the 14 whole 2/7% increase of
the original price.
*markup price---- is the original price +
markup.
According to the info she already provided,
Markup price= 2t.
Profit =3/4t.
Ans= 2/(3/4) in %.
=2.667 *100
=266.7%approx.

.

Tinkybabe: Let's assume she left home with t(20% of total money)
She left at home 4t (80% of total money )
and In total had 5t
Initial price of radio= (0.25t + t)= 1.25t= 5/4t
Final price = 50%(4t) = 2t
Original (should have been) price = y =7/4t

2t= y+(100/7%)y
2t= y+1/7y= 8/7y
Hence y = 2t(7/8 )= 7/4t
Now we have a uniform variable
1) difference btw original and initial price as a percentage of total money
Ie (7/4 -5/4 )t = 1/2t or 0.5t
% of total money = (0.5/5)100= 10%

2) what percent of the profit is the mark up price?
Total profit made = final price -initial price
ie. 2t - 5/4t = 3/4t
Mark up price = (100/7)% of y = (1/7)7/4t = 1/4t
(Recall y = 7/4t from above)
Percentage profit in mark up price =
(1/4 divided by 3/4)100
(0.25/0.75)100
= 33.33%**
PS-
Op..the second question is ambiguous- do you mean profit made from original price or final price?
I assumed profit from final price though.

Q1- I agree it's 10%
Q2- The question says what % of the profit is the markup price?

There is a difference btw "markup" and "markup price".
*markup--- is the 14 whole 2/7% increase of the original price.
*markup price---- is the original price + markup.

According to the info you already provided,
Markup price= 2t.
Profit =3/4t.

Ans= 2/(3/4) in %.
=2.667 *100
=266.7%approx.
* By the way, you're very good, your method is simple and straightforward.

SpaceGoat: wrong.. there is no brainy person on nairaland !!

Ok she is a space goat.... By the way she can be so many things from your above info and one of them is definitively step mom. I can show you explanations if you so demand.

xp17: ur comment of course. what else were you thinking? gbeff
never again justify your wrongs by pulling those doing the right stuffs down. those guys deserve more than a thread. if you ask me, I'd give them all my cowries for doing what is right especially in a wrong world we live in today.they are on track and I take my hat off for them .

if you think they do not deserve a thread, why do not you create one for prostitutes; your cohorts? or is anyone stopping you not to?. guilty conscience is been a bitchh since 1903.

I like criticism, but not this half baked type that can't hold the rain. next time when you criticize , please endeavor to make it kinda constructive and give some good reasons as well.


next time I see this kinda post again, I'm gonna swing a mallet on the person's neck.

shallom.

Saying something like "Babe, I'm bored, lets go brush your teeth"

OlamiB: We both know each other's parents and we visit each other's house at will, its only his closeness with his sister that is bothering me, moreso his sister allows many girls to live with her.

Alright, it's a good sign he's now showing commitment, otherwise you're done for. It's imperative that you sit him down and lay your fears before him.
And you've to get very close to his sister, she seems the only person that can keep tabs on him. If you were very close to her in the first place, you wouldn't have to be jealous.
Enjoy.

OlamiB: Soon. Tnk u

Better be wise and wake up, take useful advice and be smart. I went through some of your threads and I have to say you're dealing with the wrong guy, my opinion still stands that your boyfriend is not having only you in his life.

You're one of those girls that want to change a man because you claim you're in love. I don't claim to know too much, but i know a bad guy when I hear you talk about him. I also know you're a good and somehow innocent girl. He is a sharp guy obviously and is manipulating you because you're not as sharp. You're the case of sharp guy jam innocent girl.

Obviously you've gone through a lot to keep him. He is the elusive type that doesn't want to make commitments. He is also a sweet talker and thus you're easily convinced by his talks. I guess he's your first bf or the first to make a lasting impression on you.

My advice, leave him sharpally before it's too late.Don't hate the truth because it's bitter.
Don't stay in a relationship because you "think" everything will be well.

If you want to know how committed he is to you, ask him to find a day that both of you will visit your parent. His reaction will say it all.

You can hate me for been too direct in my talks but I'm only saying what I perceive to be the truth.
You either take it or leave it.
Enjoy.

On point bro Bill Gate who was a straight As student was termed silly when he drop out of school.
I wish I could be that silly.

Abeg, what of the #1500 for 60days data plan, does it still work?
