Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

PEOPLE         NUMBER       WAGES/PERSON        TOTAL AMT

MEN                     20                        Rs 10                       Rs 200

WOMEN               15                         Rs 8                        Rs 120

CHILDREN            X                         Rs 4                         Rs 4x

                          35 + x                                                 Rs 320 + 4x

Average wages bill works = Rs 8.5

8.5 = 320 + 4x/ 35 + x

8.5(35+x) = 320 + 4x

297.5 + 8.5x = 320 + 4x

8.5x - 4x = 320 - 297.5

4.5x = 22.5

x = 22.5/4.5

x = 5

Answer 2

find total income that is 320 +4x

divide that by 35 + x

put that equal to 8.5

solve the equation
