Question

The total wages of 45 labourers were $5175 per day.What will be the total wages if 15 more labourers were added to their groups?​

Answer 1

Answer:

6900 total wage

Step-by-step explanation:

$5175 -> 45 labour

? -> 1 labour

5175/45= 115

115$ per labour

15*115 = 1725

total wages = wage of 45 + wage of 15

= 5175 + 1725 = 6900

Answer 2

Answer:

First to find the wages of extra 15 members we need to find the wages for one member

So division should be done.

$5175 \div 45 = 115$

So one labour gets 115 wages daily

So now extra 15 members are added so that 45+15=60

So the number of total labours is 60 now multiple the daily wage of one member with 60

$60 \times 115 = 6900$

Therefore, the amount required is $6900
