Question 1:
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?
A. Rs. 200
B. Rs. 250
Feedback Let the sum paid to Y per week be Rs. z.
Then, z + 120% of z = 550.
z + (120/100)z = 550.
(11/5)z= 550
z=( (550 X 5)/11 ) = 250.
C. Rs. 300
D. None of these
