The payment per hour for a daily-wages employee is increased by 33.33 and the working time is reduced by 33.33%. What is the percentage change in the employee's income ?

Correct Answer: 11.11% decrease

Explanation:

If earlier he is getting Rs. 1  per hr and working for 1 hr, income = Rs. 1
Now he is getting Rs 1.3333 per hr and working for 0.66667 hrs


Then income for 0.66667 hrs = Rs. 0.8889.


If payment per hr is increased by 33.33 %  and working hours dereased by 33.33%, then 11.11 % decrease in income.
