% question

by awilhelm » Sun Dec 14, 2008 8:36 pm
Jason and Karen's salaries were each p% greater in 1998 than they were in 1995. What is the value of p?

1) In 1995, Karen's salary was $2,000 greater than Jason's.
2) In 1998, Karen's salary was $2,440 greater than Jason's.

Thank you!

I am getting C)


Stmt I

In 1995 k = j+2000

Dont have any info on what p could be

Stmt II

In 1998 k = j+2440

Dont have any info on what p could be

Stmt I and II

k- j = 2000
k-j = 2440

The percentage diference in their salary i.e 440 / 2000*100 should be p.

SUFF

Choose C)
