Question

shubh and naksh donates some money in relief fund. the amount paid by naksh is rs 125 more than that of shubh. if the total money paid by them is 975.find the amount of money donated by shubh?

Answer 1

x + 125 = 975
x = 975 - 125
x = 850

Answer 2

Let money paid by Shubh = x
Therefore, money paid by Naksh = ₹ x + ₹ 125 = ₹ x + 125

Total money contributed by them = Money by Shubh + Money by Naksh =
₹x + ₹x+125 = ₹ 975
₹ 2x + 125 = ₹ 975
₹ 2x = ₹ 975 - ₹ 125 = ₹ 850
2x = ₹ 850 { ₹ symbol not necessary}
x = ₹ 850 / 2 = ₹ 425
x + 125 = ₹ 425 + ₹ 125 = ₹ 550
Therefore,
Shubh contributed ₹425 & Naksh contributed ₹ 550 [ x + 125 ] in the relief fund
