Question

4) The salaries of Radha and Sham were in the ratio 7:6 a year ago. Currently, each of them has received a
raise of Rs 3000 and hence their salaries are now in the ratio 15 : 13. What is their combined salary
currently?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Their Combined salary currently is Rs. 84000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ratio of salaries of Radha and sham = 7 : 6

Amount raised in their salary = Rs. 3000

New ratio of their salary = 15 : 13

To find: Their currently combined salary

Let the salary of Radha = 7x

And salary of Sham = 6x

According tot he Question,

$\frac{7x+300}{6x+3000}=\frac{15}{13}$

$13(7x+3000)=15(6x+3000)$

91x + 39000 = 90x + 45000

91x - 90x = 45000 - 39000

x = 6000

Current salary of Radha = 7x + 3000 = 7(6000) + 3000 = Rs. 45000

Current salary of Sham = 6x + 3000 = 6(6000) + 3000 = Rs. 39000

Combined salary = 45000 + 39000 = Rs. 84000

Therefore, Their Combined salary currently is Rs. 84000
