Let us solve back wards..
Quote:
she decreased the number of hours she worked each week by 1/3. From then on, she worked 20 hours weekly
Let initial time be t...So, \(20=t-\frac{t}{3}=\frac{2t}{3}....t=20*\frac{3}{2}=30\)Quote:
she increased the number of hours she worked each week by 1/5.
Let the start time be s...So, \(30=s+\frac{s}{5}=\frac{6s}{5}....s=30*\frac{5}{6}=25\)D

let initial working each week is x hrs
initial increase in hrs ;x/5 ; new time ; 6x/5
the tricky word line she decreased the number of hours she worked each week by 1/3
i.e x-x/3 ; 2x/3
2x/3 = 20
x=30 hrs
6/5*x=30
x= 25 hrs
IMO D
