Question

The ratio of salaries of Mrs. X and Mr. Y is 6 : 5. If sum of their salaries is Rs. 12,100, find the individual salary of Mrs. X and Mr. Y.​

Answer 1

Answer:

y=5500,x=6600

Step-by-step explanation:

x/y = 6/5

x+y = 12100

x= 12100-y

( 12100-y)/y = 6/5

60500 - 5y = 6y

60500 = 11y

y = 5500

x = 6600

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

salary of Mrs. X & Mr. X = 6 : 5

total of their salaries = rs. 12,100

6x + 5x = 12,100

11x = 12,100

x = 12100/11

x = 1100

salary of Mrs. X = 6x = 6*1100

                                  = Rs.6600

salary of Mr. X =5x = 5* 1100

                                  = Rs.5500
