Question

2carpenters m nd n paid are total of 550 per week.If m paid 120% of the sum paid to n

Answer 1

Answer: Money paid to M is $ 250 and money paid to N is $300

Step-by-step explanation:

let the money paid to M be $X

let the money paid to N be $Y

X + Y = $550

Y = 120% of X = 120/100 × X

so,

⇒ X + 12X/10=550

⇒ (10X + 12X)/10 = 550 (taking the LCM)

22X/10 = 550

22X = 550×10

22X = 5500

X = $(5500/22) = $250

If X= 250

⇒ X+Y = 550

Y+250=550

Y=300
