It comes to around $10.2 surplus...am I right?
Logic: In the given information, we have expected surplus in 2006 which is 2/3 more than that of 2005. So make an equation with 'x' as the balance in 2005 i.e. x + 2x/3 = 17; 5x/3 = 17; x = 17*3/5 = $10.2 million surplus


dude i have a doubt....
how do u got 5x???i didnt get that part...

(1)x + (2/3)x = (1 + 2/3)x => (5/3)x or 5x/3... now is it better?

Firstly, there is no bother, if someone doesn't understand, this does not mean that you get tired of them :)
Secondly, I have gone over the marking scheme and kishmishdoll made a mistake and accidentally wrote million when it is supposed to be billion.
So the answer is correct; about the logic, if 2006 is 2/3 greater than 2005, this means that you have to add (2/3) of 2005 to 2005...get it? That's why we use bal_2005 + (2/3)bal_2005 = 17.

Information tells that price rose by 3oo%. Again make an equation : x + 300% x = 800; x + (300/100)x = 800; x + 3x = 800; 4x = 800; x = 200.
