Number of projects handled by 5 companies during 5 years
If the number of projects handled by company A increased by 25% from 2008 to 2009 and the number of projects handled by company E decreased by 35% from 2008 to 2009, what was the total number of projects handled by companies A and E together in 2009 ?
Number of projects handled by company A in 2008 = 180
=> Number of projects handled by company A in 2009 = $$180 + \frac{25}{100} \times 180$$
= $$225$$
Number of projects handled by company EĀ in 2008 = 240
=>Ā Number of projects handled by company EĀ in 2009 =Ā $$240 - \frac{35}{100} \times 240$$
= $$156$$
$$\therefore$$ Total number of projects handled by companies A and E together in 2009 = 225 + 156 = 381
