Answer:
300rs
Step-by-step explanation:
Two labourers a and b are paid a total of rs. 750 per day
a+b = 750;
can be written as a= 750-b
a is paid 150 percent of what is paid to b
a = 150% of b
by substituting a = 750-b in above equation
750-b = 150/100 * b
750-b = 3b/2
1500-2b = 3b
1500 = 5b
b=300
a=750-300 = 450
