Question

If the wages of 12 workers for 5 days are 7500 Find the wages if 17 workers for 6 days

Answer 1

wage of one worker =
$\frac{7500}{12} = 625$
$17 \times 625 = 10625$
$10625 \times 6 = 63750$
so the wage of 17 worker for 6 days is 63750

Answer 2

Given,

Wages of 12 workers for 5 days = ₹7,500.

To Find,

Wages of 17 workers for 6 days.

Solution,

Firstly we have to find a number of workers(n) for 1 day.

So,

12 workers for 5 days = ₹ 7500

1 worker for 1 day = 7500 / (12 × 5)= 125 

n = 125

Now just multiply the number of workers with given workers and the number of days.

17 workers for 6 days = n × 17 × 6                                     = 125 × 17 × 6                                   = ₹12750

Hence, the wages of 17 workers for 6 days is ₹12750
