company kw is being sold , and both company a and company b were considering the purchase . the price of company kw is 30 % 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 30 % more than company a ' s assets which is 130 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 = 65 a + b = 165 kw = 130 kw / ( a + b ) * 100 = 130 / 165 * 100 = 78.78 % or 79 % b
multiply(divide(add(100, 30), add(100, divide(add(100, 30), const_2))), const_100)
