Question

The ratio of daily wages of two workers is $4:\hspace{0.17em}3$ and one gets daily Rs. $9$ more than others. What are their daily wages $?$

Answer 1

Find the daily wages:

Given, the ratio of daily wages of two workers is $4:3$.

Let us say, the wages of workers are $4x$ and $3x$.

As per the question, one gets daily Rs. $9$ more than others.

Therefore,

$\begin{array}{rcl}4x-3x& =& 9\\ x& =& 9\end{array}$

Daily wages of one worker $=4x$

$=4\times 9$

$=$Rs. $36$

And of second worker $=3x$

$=3\times 9$

$=$Rs. $27$

Hence, the daily wages of two workers are Rs. $36$ and Rs. $27$.
