A certain factory employed 600 men and 400 women and the average wage was Rs. 25.50 per day. If a woman
got Rs. 5 less than a man , then what are their daily wages
Let the daily wage of a man be Rs. `x`
Then, daily wage of a woman = Rs. (`x` - 5)
Now , 600`x` + 400(`x` - 5) = 25.50 x (600 + 400) `hArr` 1000`x` = 27500 `hArr` `x` = 27.50
`:.` Man's daily wages = Rs. 27.50; Woman's daily wages = (`x` - 5) = Rs. 22.50
