Question 32
The salaries of P, Q, and R are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. If their respective salaries are increased by 10%, 15%, and 25%, what will the ratio of their new salaries be?
Solution
Let us assume their current salaries are 2x, 3x and 5x respectively.
After increase, their new salaries are: 1.1*2x = 2.2x; 1.15*3x = 3.45x; 1.25*5x = 6.25x.
The new ratio will be: 2.2 : 3.45 : 6.25 = 44 : 69 : 125.
