Question

The weekly wages of 30 person consisting of 3800 each men received 160 Rs and each wo
men receive Rs 120 find the number of men and women

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of men are 5 and number of women are 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of men be x

Total number of people = 30

Thus, number of women = 30 - x

Now, given that weekly wages of 30 person is Rs 3800

Each men receives Rs 160

Each women receives Rs 120

Thus, we get

x(Rs 160) + (30 - x)(Rs 120) = Rs 3800

160x + 3600 - 120x = 3800

(160 - 120)x = 3800 - 3600

40x = 200

x = 5

Thus, number of men = 5

number of women = 30 - 5 = 25
