Men : women : Children = 9 : 4 : 1 (the ratio of the number of women, men and children)
There are 60 women, the number of children is :
1/4 × 60 = 15 children.
The ratio of their wages :
Men : women : children = 8 : 5 : 3
The sum of the ratios is :
8 + 5 + 3 = 16
Total wages = 2850
3/16 × 2850 = 534.375
This is the total wage of the 15 children.
The daily wage of a child is :
534.375/15 = 35.625
Answer :
35.625
