In 2013, Bill Gates earned $11.5 billion dollars through his business activities and investments. Assume that he earns that money at a steady rate, working 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.

If he happened to drop $1,000 in cash while walking in the street, how long will it take for him to earn it back?

• in 2013 bill gates earned 11.5 billion...
  365 * 24=8760 hour..
  so total hour while he learned= 8760...
  he earn at steady rate......so 1312785$/hour....
  in 1 minute he earn=1312785/60 =21879$....and so 365$ per second he earn......so only 3 second will take for him to earn 1000$ back......
