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 |

If y get 100 and x get 120.
So sum of 100 and 120 is 220.
Now we directly get answer see,
If total is 220 so y get 100.
If total is 550 so y get ?
Let's solve it;
550*100/220 = 250.
So sum of 100 and 120 is 220.
Now we directly get answer see,
If total is 220 so y get 100.
If total is 550 so y get ?
Let's solve it;
550*100/220 = 250.

x + 1.2x = 550.
2.2x = 550,
x = 250.
2.2x = 550,
x = 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.

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.

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

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.
