when tom works alone he chops 2 lb . salad in 3 minutes , and when tammy works alone she chops 3 lb . salad in 2 minutes . they start working together , and after some time finish chopping 65 lb . of salad . of those 80 lb . , the salad quantity chopped by tom is what percent lesser than the quantifying chopped by tammy ? .
"tom chops 4 lbs in 6 minutes tammy chops 9 lbs in 6 minutes so in the same amount of time , tom chops 125 % less than tammy , since 9 is 125 % greater than 4 . so 125 % is the answer . note that the actual time does n ' t matter . if you multiply the time each work by x , you ' ll multiply the work each does by x , and 9 x is still 125 % greater than 4 x . ans : e"
multiply(divide(subtract(divide(3, 2), divide(2, 3)), divide(2, 3)), const_100)
