Question

The total salary of 2 women and 4 men is 46000. if the salary of a woman is 500 more than the salary of a man . what is the salary of a woman?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let salary of woman be w and that of man be m

2w+4m=46000 --> I

w=m+500 --> II

Substituting II in I,

2 (m+500)+4m= 46000

2m+1000+4m=46000

6m+1000=46000

2 (3m+500)=46000

3m+500=46000÷2

3m+500=23000

3m=23000-500

3m=22500

m=22500÷3

m= 7500

1 man's salary is Rs.7500

In II, substituting m=7500,

w=m+500

w=7500+500

w=8000

1 woman's salary is Rs.8000
