Two salesmen make equal sales during the month of August.

Question:

Two salesmen make equal sales during the month of August. In September, each salesman doubles his sale of the month of August. Compare their sales in September.

Solution:

Let the equal sale of two salesmen in August be $x$.

In September each salesman doubles his sale of August.

Thus, sale of first salesman is $2 x$ and sale of second salesman is $2 x$.

According to Euclid's axioms, things which are double of the same things are equal to one another.

So, in September their sales are again equal.
