Question : 58 of 100

Marks: +1, -0

Two labourers A and B are paid a total of ₹650 per day. If A is 160 per cent of what is paid to B, how much (in ₹) is B paid?

Solution:

Let B’s share = ₹ x
∴ A's share =

x ×160/100=\₹{8x}/5

According to the question,

x+{8x}/5=650

⇒

{5x + 8x}/5=650

⇒

13x =3250

∴

x=3250/13=\₹250
