If no of employees are reduced by ratio x:y & their wages are increased by ratio
p:q. then find the ratio to which their wages bill decreases

• let the total no. of employees= a.
  let their wages = b
  initial employee= xa and
  final employee= ya.
  
  initial wage = bp and
  final wage = bq.
  
  total initial wage= xa*bp = xabp, and
  total final wage = ya*bq = yabq.
  
  clearly wages decreases and ratio = xabp : yabq = xp : yq
  
  Ans: xp:yq

• Let the total employes are n and their wages are w. The employes are reduced by x/y is nx/y and wages are wp/q. Noe the no. of employes are (n-nx/y) and wages are (w+wp/q. Multiply both values and then u can get their wages will decrease by x/y-p/q+xp/yq
