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?

Let Y’s weekly pay be y.
X is paid 120% of Y.
X = 1.2y.
Total pay:
1.2y + y=550
2.2y = 550
y= 2.2/ 550
=250
So, Y is paid Rs. 250 per week.
X is paid 120% of Y.
X = 1.2y.
Total pay:
1.2y + y=550
2.2y = 550
y= 2.2/ 550
=250
So, Y is paid Rs. 250 per week.
