decreasing 60 by p%, then what is p% of
70?
 50
 140
 14
 35 - Answer

3. We need to find P from the
equation- 20*(1+P) = 60*(1-P),
20 + 20P = 60- 60P,
20P + 60P = 60 - 20,
80P = 40 =====> P= 0.5, or 50%.
Next, 50% percents of 70 is 35.
Answer. P = 50%,
and 50% percents of 70 is 35.

 360

7. There are 6 tasks T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6
and 6 people P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6.
If T2 is assigned to P3, there are 5 remaining tasks T1, T3, T4, T5, T6
and 5 remaining people P1, P2, P4, P5, P6.
T1 can't be assigned to P1 or P2, so T1 could be assigned to P4, P5, P6.
T3 could be assigned to each of 4 remaining people.
T4 could be assigned to each of 3 remaining people.
T5 could be assigned to each of 2 remaining people.
T6 could be assigned to the only remaining people.
Hence, the total combination in this case is 3*4*3*2*1.
If T2 is assigned to P4. The result is the same as the first case above. The
total combination is 3*4*3*2*1
Hence, the answer is 2*3*4*3*2*1=144
