Question

Thulasi and her husband work on Karunya s farm. The Government has said that farmworkers should be paid at least Rs 71 for one day s work. But he pays Rs 55 to Thulasi and Rs 58 to her husband.

• If Thulasi works for 49 days, how much money does she get?
• If her husband works for 42 days, how much money does he get?
• Find the money they earn together ______

Answer 1

Thulasi’s one day’s wages = Rs 55
Hence, 49 day’s wages = 49 × 55 = Rs 2695

      49
   × 55
     245
+ 2450
    2695 

Her husband’s one day’s wages = Rs 58
Hence, 42 day’s wages = 58 × 42 = Rs 2436

      58
   × 42
     116
+ 2320
   2436 
Their combined earnings 2695 + 2436 = Rs 5131
