Question

What is the difference between 20% of P and 20% of
(P + 5000)?​

Answer 1

Answer: 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, 20% of P means P20/100=P/5

And 20% of (P+5000) means (P+5000)*20/100= (P+5000)/5

Diff. between these

= P/5-(P+5000)/5

= P-P+5000/5

= 1000

And here's the ans.

Thanks

Answer 2

Answer:

Difference between 20% of P and 20% of (P + 5000) is 1000.

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of P = $\frac{20}{100}P =\frac{1}{5}P$

20% of (P+5000) = $\frac{20}{100}(P+5000)=\frac{1}{5}(P+5000)$

Difference:

$\frac{1}{5}(P+5000)-\frac{1}{5}P$

$=\frac{P+5000-P}{5}$

$=\frac{5000}{5}$

$=1000$
