Answer» Let, the sum paid to Tailor X per week be Rs. X and the sum paid to Tailor Y per week be Rs. Y Given, two tailors X and Y are paid a total of Rs. 550 per week => X + Y = 550 ---> eqn (1) Given, X is paid 120 percent of the sum paid to Y => X = 120 % of Y => X = (120 / 100) * Y => X = (6 / 5) * Y On SUBSTITUTING this value for X in eqn (1), we get => (6 / 5) * Y + Y = 550 => (6Y + 5Y) / 5 = 550 => 11Y = 550 * 5 => 11Y = 2750 => Y = 2750 / 11 => Y = 250 Rs. Thus, the sum paid to Tailor Y per week be Rs. 250 Let, the sum paid to Tailor X per week be Rs. X and the sum paid to Tailor Y per week be Rs. Y Given, two tailors X and Y are paid a total of Rs. 550 per week => X + Y = 550 ---> eqn (1) Given, X is paid 120 percent of the sum paid to Y => X = 120 % of Y => X = (120 / 100) * Y => X = (6 / 5) * Y On substituting this value for X in eqn (1), we get => (6 / 5) * Y + Y = 550 => (6Y + 5Y) / 5 = 550 => 11Y = 550 * 5 => 11Y = 2750 => Y = 2750 / 11 => Y = 250 Rs.

Two Tailors X And Y Are Paid A Total Of Rs. 550 Per Week By Their Employer. If X Is Paid 120 Percent Of The Sum Paid To Y, How Much Is Y Paid Per Week?

Answer»

Let, the sum paid to Tailor X per week be Rs. X

and the sum paid to Tailor Y per week be Rs. Y

Given, two tailors X and Y are paid a total of Rs. 550 per week

=> X + Y = 550 ---> eqn (1)

Given, X is paid 120 percent of the sum paid to Y

=> X = 120 % of Y

=> X = (120 / 100) * Y

=> X = (6 / 5) * Y

On SUBSTITUTING this value for X in eqn (1), we get

=> (6 / 5) * Y + Y = 550

=> (6Y + 5Y) / 5 = 550

=> 11Y = 550 * 5

=> 11Y = 2750

=> Y = 2750 / 11

=> Y = 250 Rs.

Thus, the sum paid to Tailor Y per week be Rs. 250
