Question

The no. Of employees is reduced in ratio 3:2 and the salary of each employee is increased in the ratio 4:5. By doing so, company saves rupees 12000. So find initial expenditure on salary

Answer 1

Answer:

72000  

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the total initial salary of employees = x

and the total number of employees = y

Then the initial expenditure on salary = xy _   _   _   _ (1)

Revised number of employees = 2x/3

Revised salary = 5y/4

The difference is xy - (2x/3 x 5y/4) = 12000

Therefore xy - 10xy/12 = 12000

12xy-10xy = 12000 x 12

2xy = 144000

xy = 72000 which is the initial expenditure _   _   see (1)
