Two salesman Eman and Masood are paid a total of Rs. 550 per week by their employer. If Eman is paid 120 percent of the sum paid to Masood , how much is Masood paid per week?
been there, done that
Masood + 1.2 Masood = 550
2.2 Masood = 550
masood = 250
Let's assume the amount Masood is paid per week is x.
According to the given information, Eman is paid 120% of what Masood is paid. So, Eman is paid 120/100 * x = 1.2x.
The total amount paid to both Eman and Masood is Rs. 550. So, we can set up the equation:
x + 1.2x = 550
Combining like terms:
2.2x = 550
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2.2:
x = 550 / 2.2
Simplifying:
x = 250
Therefore, Masood is paid Rs. 250 per week.
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' rupees.
According to the problem, Eman is paid 120 percent of the sum paid to Masood. This can be written as:
Eman's pay = 120% of Masood's pay = 1.2 * x
The problem also states that the total amount paid to both Eman and Masood is Rs. 550:
Eman's pay + Masood's pay = 550
Substituting the value of Eman's pay (1.2 * x) into the equation:
1.2 * x + x = 550
Simplifying the equation:
2.2 * x = 550
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2.2:
x = 550 / 2.2
Evaluating the division:
x = 250
Therefore, Masood is paid Rs. 250 per week.
