Question

Two employees, x and y, are paid a total of rs. 550 per week by their employer. X is paid 120 percent of the amount paid to y. How much is y paid per week?

Answer 1

Answer:

₹250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount paid to Y be a

Amount paid to X = 120% of a = $\frac{120}{100}$ × a = $\frac{6a}{5}$

According to question

$a + \frac{6a}{5} = Rs. 550\\\frac{11a}{5} = Rs. 550\\a = Rs. 550 * \frac{5}{11}\\a = Rs. 250$

Amount paid to Y = a = ₹250

Amount paid to X = $\frac{6a}{5} = \frac{6(Rs. 250)}{5} = Rs. 300$
