The annual rent collected by a corporation from a certain building was x percent more in 1998 than in 1997 and y percent less in 1999 than in 1998. Was the annual rent collected by the corporation from the building more in 1999 than in 1997?
1) x>y
2) xy/100 < x-y
The hard part of this question is statement #2. What is a good strategy for this question?
sorry i'm not sure how to add the answer and black it out so i'll write the answer in a few posts.
