Question
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?

None of these
MCQ
Solution
Rs. 250
Explanation:
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 xx 5)/11)` = 250.
