The total of company C's assets in 1992 was N dollarsCompany C's assets in 1993 was 400% greater than the total in 1992So, 1993 assets = (1992 assets) + (400% of 1992 assets)
= (N) + (400% of N)
= (N) + (400/100 x N)
= N + 4N

5NCompany C's assets in 1994 was 300% greater than the total in 1993,So, 1994 assets = (1993 assets) + (300% of 1993 assets)
= (
5N) + (300% of
