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: Option
Explanation:
Let the sum paid to Y per week be Rs. z.
Then, z + 120% of z = 550.
 z + |
120 | z = 550 |
| 100 |
| |
11 | z = 550 |
| 5 |
| z = |
 |
550 x 5 |  = 250. |
| 11 |

X + Y = 550.
120/100 Y + Y = 550,
6/5 Y + Y =550,
11Y/5 = 550,
Y = 250.
120/100 Y + Y = 550,
6/5 Y + Y =550,
11Y/5 = 550,
Y = 250.

First, find the ratio, X is paid 120%, Y is paid 100, so.
120 : 100 = 6 : 5.
550 = 11x.
5x = 250.
120 : 100 = 6 : 5.
550 = 11x.
5x = 250.

Let the sum paid to Y be 100% and already given that sum paid to X is 120%.
Total sum = 550
120%+100% = 550
220%v= 550.
Then 100%=x.
x = 550*100/220 = 250.
Total sum = 550
120%+100% = 550
220%v= 550.
Then 100%=x.
x = 550*100/220 = 250.

A:B = 120: 100.
6 : 5.
Y = 550 * 5/11,
= Tk. 250.
6 : 5.
Y = 550 * 5/11,
= Tk. 250.

Let Y paid 100%.
Then X will be 120% of Y.
=> (120/100)*100 = 120%.
According to qn X+Y = 550,
Then, 100%+120% =550,
=> 220%= 550,
=> 1% = 550/220= 5/2.
Then Paid to Y is 100% =(5/2)*100 = 250.
Then X will be 120% of Y.
=> (120/100)*100 = 120%.
According to qn X+Y = 550,
Then, 100%+120% =550,
=> 220%= 550,
=> 1% = 550/220= 5/2.
Then Paid to Y is 100% =(5/2)*100 = 250.

Let x + y = 550,
x = 120% of y,
1.2y + y = 550,
2.2y = 550,
y = 550/2.2,
y = 250.
x = 120% of y,
1.2y + y = 550,
2.2y = 550,
y = 550/2.2,
y = 250.

x + y = 550.
120% + 100% = 550,
6 + 5 = 550,
11 = 550,
550/11 = 50.
5 * 50 = 250,
So, answer = 250.
120% + 100% = 550,
6 + 5 = 550,
11 = 550,
550/11 = 50.
5 * 50 = 250,
So, answer = 250.

We are given:
Total pay for X and Y = Rs. 550.
X is paid 120% of what Y is paid.
Let Y's pay be Rs. y.
Then X's pay = 120% of y = 120/100 × 𝑦 = 1.2𝑦.
Step-by-step equation:
𝑦 + 1.2𝑦 = 550,
2.2𝑦 = 550.
𝑦 = 550/2.2 = 250.
Total pay for X and Y = Rs. 550.
X is paid 120% of what Y is paid.
Let Y's pay be Rs. y.
Then X's pay = 120% of y = 120/100 × 𝑦 = 1.2𝑦.
Step-by-step equation:
𝑦 + 1.2𝑦 = 550,
2.2𝑦 = 550.
𝑦 = 550/2.2 = 250.

x=100%, y=120%.
x+y=220%.
=> 550/220 = 2.5.
=> 2.5 * x.
So, 2.5 * 100 = 250.
x+y=220%.
=> 550/220 = 2.5.
=> 2.5 * x.
So, 2.5 * 100 = 250.
