Puzzle 114 - solution
This puzzle is quite simple.
Let us say John has worked for x days. Which means he earns x dollars each day. So total money he gets is x2
Robert earns one dollar more. Robert earns x+1 dollar per day. He worked one day less. The number of days he has worked is x-1.
Robert earns (x+1)(x-1) = x2 -1 dollars
John earns more.
