Question

Share Rs 18.81 among 9 boys. How much does each boy get??​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let x be the number of boys and y be the number of girls.

Given total number of boys and girls = 100

x+y=100 -------------- (i)

Step (ii): A boy gets Rs. 3.60 and a girl gets Rs. 2.40

The amount given to 100 boys and girls = Rs. 312

3.60x + 2.40y = 312 -------------- (ii)

Step (iii):

Solving (i) and (ii)

3.60x + 3.60y = 360 --------- Multiply (i) by 3.60

3.60x + 2.40y = 312 --------- (ii)

1.20y = 48

y = 48 / 1.20

= 40
