Answer 1

Answer:

been trying my phone number

Answer 2

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

As mentioned in the question,

Number of men = 25×25 =10

Number of women = 35×25 =15

Step 1:

Amount distributed among men and women

= 275×80% = Rs.220

Step 2:

Let the wages paid to a man by 5p and to woman be 4p,

=> 10×5p+15×4p = 220

=> 50p + 60p = 220

=> p = 2

Therefore, Wages received by a woman =

2×4 = 8 rupees.
