Two salesman Emaan and Masood are paid a total of Rs 550 per week by their employer. If Emaan is paid 120 percent of the sum paid to Masood , how much is Masood paid per week.
550/2 = 275
275/120=2.2
550/2.2=250 ans
1 Mas + 1.2 Mas = 550
Mas = 550 / 2.2

To find out how much Masood is paid per week, we can set up a system of equations based on the given information:
Let's assume Masood's weekly pay is x.
According to the problem, Emaan is paid 120 percent of Masood's pay. This means Emaan's pay is 120/100 times Masood's pay, or (120/100)x.
The total amount paid per week to both salesmen is given as Rs 550. So we can write the equation:
x + (120/100)x = 550
Simplifying this equation, we get:
(1 + 120/100)x = 550
(1.2)x = 550
Dividing both sides of the equation by 1.2, we get:
x = 550 / 1.2
Evaluating this expression, we find:
x = 458.33
Therefore, Masood is paid approximately Rs 458.33 per week.
