Question

If 8 labourers were paid rupees 1760,how much must 20 labourers be paid at the same rate

Answer 1

The payment of the 20 labours with same rate will be as follows-

8 labours are paid = 1760 rupees.

1 labour is paid = (1760/8) rupees

1 labour is paid = 220 rupees

20 labours are paid = (220×20) rupees

20 labours are paid = 4400 rupees

So,with the present rate (same rate by which first 8 labours were paid ) the 20 labours will be paid a total amount of 4400 rupees. (Answer)
