Question

Given that wages for 40 women for 30 days are Rs.21600.​

Answer 1

Answer:

16 men

Step-by-step explanation:

let man='m' and women='w'

Given,

If daily wages of a man is double to that of a woman

m=2w

m/w=2x/1x

Given that wages for 40 women for 30 days are Rs.21600.​

40w*30days=21600

1w*1 day=x

40*30*x=21600

x=18

2x=2*18=>36

so daily wages of men 2x=36

1 m*1 day=36 rupees

x m*25 days=14400 rupees

36*25*x=14400

x=16 men
