Reasoning and answer: Chris would earn 5200 - 5200 / 10 = 5200 - 520 = $4680 from the first buyer. He would earn 5200 - 80 - 80 * 3 = 5200 - 80 * 4 = 5200 - 320 = $4880 from the second buyer. The difference between Chris’s earnings would be 4880 - 4680 = $200.
The answer: 200

Reasoning and answer: Five months ago, Mike earned ten times more money than Fred, and since Fred earned $1000, Mike earned 10 * 1000 = $10000 more than Fred. The total amount of money that Mike earned five months ago is $10000 + $1000 = $11000. Mikes salary has increased by 40 / 100 * $11000 = $4400. Mike's current salary is $11000 + $4400 = $15400.
The answer: 15400
