Answer 1

Hope this will help u.

Answer 2

Answer:

Here x represents the original weekly wages of each worker,

Since, the original wages bill = 816 rupees,

Then the number of employees = $\frac{text{Total wages}}{\text{Wages each worker gets}}$

$\frac{816}{x}$

Now, the new bill = 781 rupees,

And, the new weekly wages of each worker = x-3

Hence, the new number of employees = $\frac{781}{x-3}$

Since, the number of employees is same in both cases,

$\implies \frac{816}{x}=\frac{781}{x-3}$

$\implies 816(x-3) = 781x$

$\implies 816 x - 2448 = 781x$

$\implies 816x - 781x = 2448\implies 35x = 2448\implies x = 69.9428571429\approx 69.943$

Thus, the original weekly wages of each worker = 69.943 rupees ( approx )
