Problem a Day
Local Briefs
1943-44 budget of the city of El
Reno was discussed at a special I
meeting of city commissioners
called Tuesday night.
No final action on departments j
where the budget will be reduced |
was taken. J. N. Roberson, city
manager, said.
A man owns two lots which he
wishes to sell. If he sells the first
lot for S250 and loses 16 2-3%. then
sells the second lot at a profit of
25"/, and made back his loss, how
much did he receive for the second
lot?
ANSWER
9250. Explanation — Subtract
0.16 2-3 from 1.00; divide into 250;
subtract 2S0 from 300; then the 25%
profit on sale of second lot equals
50: divide 60 by 25; add 100% and
25% and multiply by 2.
