Niall's income is 60% less than Rex's income, and Sam's income is 25% less than Niall's income. If Rex gave 60% of his income to Sam and 40% of his income to Niall, Niall's new income would be what fraction of Sam's new income? Choose the correct option:
A) 8/9
B) 11/12
C) 8/13
D) 11/13
E) 12/13
We can take some easy numbers and make calculations simpler.   Let R ( Rex's income) = 100   Q (Niall's income) = 40%R = 40   S (Sam's income) = 75% Q = (3/4)*40= 
<gadget id="calculator">(3/4)*40</gadget>
<output>30</output>
30   Now, if Rex gives 40% to Niall --&gt; Q= 40 + 40= 
<gadget id="calculator">40 + 40</gadget>
<output>80</output>
80   60% given to Sam --&gt; S= 30+60= 
<gadget id="calculator">30+60</gadget>
<output>90</output>
90   The ratio is : Q/S= 80/90 = 8/9= 8/9
