Question

If p is $30\%$more than q, then find $\frac{\mathrm{p}}{\mathrm{p}-\mathrm{q}}$

Answer 1

Let q be $100\mathrm{k}$

than p $=30\%$ more q

STEP 1:- First find the $30\%$ of q

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{30}{100}\times 100\mathrm{k} \\ =30\mathrm{k} \end{gathered}$$

STEP 2:- Now find the value p

p$=$$100\mathrm{k}+30\mathrm{k}$

p$=130\text{k}$

STEP 3:- Now calculate the ratio of $\frac{\mathrm{p}}{\mathrm{p}-\mathrm{q}}$

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{\mathrm{p}}{\mathrm{p}-\mathrm{k}}=\frac{130\mathrm{k}}{130\mathrm{k}-100\mathrm{k}} \\ =\frac{130\mathrm{k}}{30\mathrm{k}} \\ =\frac{13}{3} \\ =4.33 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the value of p+q:p is $4.33$
