company kw is being sold , and both company a and company b were considering the purchase . the price of company kw is 40 % more than company a has in assets , and this same price is also 100 % more than company b has in assets . if companies a and b were to merge and combine their assets , the price of company kw would be approximately what percent of these combined assets ?
"let the price of company a ' s assets be 100 price of assets of kw is 40 % more than company a ' s assets which is 140 price of assets of kw is 100 % more than company b ' s assets which means price of company b ' s assets is half the price of kw = 70 a + b = 170 kw = 140 kw / ( a + b ) * 100 = 140 / 170 * 100 = 82.35 % or 82 % c"
multiply(divide(add(100, 40), add(100, divide(add(100, 40), const_2))), 100)
