A decrease by 30%, means that the price is now 70% of the original price ( 100% - 30% = 70%)

To find the original price divide the new price by the percent of the original price it is now.

147 / 0.70 = 210

The original price was £210

Tim and Jim are working on a school project together. If he had to work by himself, it would take

Vladimir [108]

Answer: 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Tim and Jim are working on a school project together.

Tim takes 10 hours to complete the school project.

If Jim worked alone, it would take him 15 hours

Let t be the time they both take if they work together.

Then, $\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{\text{Time taken by Tim}}+\dfrac{1}{\text{Time taken by jim}}$

$\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{10}+\dfrac{1}{15}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{3+2}{30}=\dfrac{5}{30}\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow t=6$

So, it will take<u> 6 hours</u> to complete the school project together .
