in february wilson ’ s earnings were 40 percent of his family ’ s total income . in march wilson earned 25 percent less than in february . if the rest of his family ’ s income was the same in both months , then , in march , wilson ’ s earnings were approximately what percent q of his family ’ s total income ?
lets suppose the total family income in feb = 100 x wilson ' s earning in feb = 40 % of 100 x = 40 x earnings of remaining family in feb = 100 x - 40 x = 60 x wilson ' s earning in march = 75 % of wilson ' s feb earnings = 75 % of 40 x = 30 x earnings of remaining family in march = earnings of remaining family in feb = 60 x thus wilson ' s earning as % of total family income in march q = 30 x / ( 30 + 60 ) x = 30 x / 90 x = 33.33 % thus answer is e
multiply(divide(subtract(divide(40, const_100), multiply(divide(25, const_100), divide(40, const_100))), subtract(const_1, multiply(divide(25, const_100), divide(40, const_100)))), const_100)
