Question

the wages of 24 men and 16 women amounts to rs.11600 per day. half the number of men and 37 women earn the same amount per day. what is the daily wage of a man?

Answer 1

let the daily wage of man be - x

let the daily wage of woman be - y

then from the info in question:

24x + 16y = 11600

12x + 37y = 11600

solving the both equations we get x = 350 and y = 200.

so, the daily wage of man is 350 rupees.
