Hi, can someone help me to solve this problem sum?


1) William’s salary of $4800 was 20% more than Kate salary. They resigned and joined another company. In the new company, they were given the same percentage increase in their salaries. If the difference in their salaries is now $1200, what is the percentage increase? MB, 2011, Question 15, 4 mark, Ans: 50%

2) Xiaoming, Yanli and Zen went to a restaurant to have their lunch together. Each of them paid a different amount for their meals. Xiaoming paid 3/5 of what Yanli and Zen paid. Yanli paid 40% of what Xiaoming and Zen paid. If Zen paid $3 more than Yanli, how much did Xiaoming pay for his meal? Ai Tong, 2011, Question 10, 3 mark, Ans: $21.

3) On Saturday, there were 50 more females than males at a concert. On Sunday, the number of females increased by 10% and the number of males decreased by 20%, resulting in 625 people at the concert. Each ticket cost $25.How much money was collected on Saturday? Ros, 2011, Question 17, 5 mark, Ans:$16250.
Thanks.

Hi

Before resignation

William ---- 6u ----- 4800

Kate ----- 5u ----- 4000

Difference ----- 800

After resignation, their difference is 1200

Percentage increase ----- 400/800*100% -----50%

Hi

X:(Y+Z) ----- 3:5(8) ----- 21:35(56)

Y:(X+Z) ----- 2:5(7) -----16:40(56)

Make the total units the same.

X ----- 21u

Y-----16u

Z ----- 19u

3u ----- 3

1u ----- 1

X paid 21u or $21.

1) Willian & Kate
How you know 20% more is 6u & 5u?

3) Female & Male
Your eye so sharp, straight away you can see 10u. I tried drawing model but couldn't find the answer.

Hi

Using MD and 10u as the base,you still can arrive at the answer.In answering any question, we always strive towards simplicity.Try to use whole numbers instead of decimals if possible.

You may present your anwers in MD or units format.
