Answer provided by our tutors
let
n = the initial number of employees
n(5/8) = the reduced number of employees
w = the initial wage
w(9/6) = the increased wage
nw = the initial overall wages bill
n(5/8)*w(9/7) = nw(45/56) the new overall wages bill
nw : (nw(45/56)) = 56/45
the overall wages bill is decreased in the ratio 56:45.
