...leads to the least misconception of what is really stated, and forms the best test of its accuracy. The product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes. Those who know that the expressions 3 : 4 : : 6 : 8 and are equivalent, and who understand some little... | |

...100—3z= B's gain, and 40z — 200= A's stock. Therefore, 4te— 200 : 20a; : : 3x : 100—3z. Since the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes, 60z2=(40z— 200)(100— 3«). Reducing, z2— J{°x=— i°o°. Whence, z=20; hence, &c=60= A's gain,... | |
