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=120%of y
x=120/100of y
x=6/5 of y
total=5+6=11 then y=5
So y=5/11*550 = 250.
x=120/100of y
x=6/5 of y
total=5+6=11 then y=5
So y=5/11*550 = 250.

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.

X + Y = 550.
X = 1.2Y.
1.2Y + Y = 550.
2.2Y = 550.
Y= 550/2.2,
Y= 250.
X = 1.2Y.
1.2Y + Y = 550.
2.2Y = 550.
Y= 550/2.2,
Y= 250.

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

Let y be 120% of x then,
550 = x +120x/100,
Or x=55000/220 =250.
550 = x +120x/100,
Or x=55000/220 =250.

X : Y = 120 : 100 --> 6:5.
Y's pay = (5/11)X550 = 250.
Y's pay = (5/11)X550 = 250.

x+y = 550.
y = 550-x.
x = 120/100(550-x).
x = 300.
y = 250.
y = 550-x.
x = 120/100(550-x).
x = 300.
y = 250.

Their ratios 6 : 5,
Total per week 550.
Therefore y= 250.
Total per week 550.
Therefore y= 250.

120:100 = 550 6:5 = 550.
6/11 = 300.
5/11 = 250.
6/11 = 300.
5/11 = 250.

Ratio = 120:100 = 6:5 so 550 = 11x then 5x = 250.
