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 |

Let amount paid to Y = 100
then amount paid to x= 120% of 100 = 120
total paid i.e., x + y = 100 + 120 = 220
if total paid is 220, amount paid to y=100
if total paid is 550, how much is paid to 'Y"
100/220*550=250
then amount paid to x= 120% of 100 = 120
total paid i.e., x + y = 100 + 120 = 220
if total paid is 220, amount paid to y=100
if total paid is 550, how much is paid to 'Y"
100/220*550=250
