GMAT Prep Q - Mrs Lee

let's see why? In May Lee's earning is 0.6 of her family's income; In June Lee's earning is 1.2 than in May OR Lee's earning 0.6*1.2 of her family's income in May. It says all family earned the same amount except for Lee and asks about Lee's earning portion in her family's income in June (be careful, we need only June and not May and June) --> basically it's again 0.6*1.2 BUT Lee's family income also raised from May to June by 0.2 portion of Lee's earning (0.6*0.2), so 0.6*1.2/(1+0.6*0.2) = 72/100 : 112/100 = 72/112 = .64
