Question

two workers anuj and mihir earn 660 ruppees in total. Anuj earns 6/5 of what mihir earns. Find the amount of money earned by anuj and mihir.

Answer 1

Let Mihir earns = Rs. x

so, Anuj earns = 6/5 of Mihir

                        = 6/5 x x

then, Anuj + Mihir = Rs. 660

          6/5 x  + x  = 660

           11/5 x       = 660

                x    =  (660 x 5) /11

                      = Rs. 300

So, Mihir earns = Rs. 300

    Anuj  earns = 6/5 x 300 = Rs.360
