3[(3^10x)+ 1] /3 = 3^10x + 1

A price is distributed among n people each one gets 110, if it is divided among n+3, each get 80. prize amount?

Let the prize amount be x.
x/n = 110
x/(n+3) = 80

So 110n = 80n+240 --> 30n = 240 --> n=8

So total prize amount = 880.

given x/600 = y/300, Is y = 1000?
I. x+y = 3000

3y = 3000
y = 1000. Sufficient.

Greatest percentage increase is possible if the stock price rose from 25k in '96 to 32k in '97. % increase = 7/25 * 100 = 28%



Not sure if I got this right, but wouldn't the highest possible increase be from 25K to 40K or 60%?
