Thulasi and her husband work on Karunya's farm. The Government has said that farm workers 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

Earnings of Thulasi for 1 day = Rs 55
It is given that Thulasi works for 49 days in the farm.
∴ Earnings of Thulasi for 49 days = Rs 55 × 49
= Rs 2,695
Working:



Thus, Thulasi will get Rs 2,695 for working 49 days in the farm.


Earnings of Thulasi's husband for 1 day = Rs 58
It is given that Thulasi's husband works for 42 days in the farm.
∴ Earnings of Thulasi's husband for 42 days = Rs 58 × 42
= Rs 2,436


Thus, Thulasi's husband will get Rs 2,436 for working 42 days in the farm.

Total money earned by Thulasi and her husband = Rs 2695 + Rs 2436
= Rs 5,131
Working:

$\begin{array}{ccccc}& \stackrel{1}{2}& \stackrel{1}{6}& \stackrel{1}{9}& 5\\ +& 2& 4& 3& 6\\ & 5& 1& 3& 1\\ & & & & \end{array}$

Thus, both of them will earn Rs 5,131.
