Spends on Employees
180.1K Views
A generous owner of a company decided to give a bonus of $45 to every man and $60 to every woman on his birthday. But only one-ninth of the men and one-twelfth of the women were present to take the bonus.
Can you calculate the amount of money the owner spent if there were 3552 employees?
$17,760
Let the No. of men who were present be X, and No. of women, Y. The total amount spent would be 45X + 60Y
It is given that 1/9 of men and 1/12 of women employees were present. i.e., X is 1/9 of total men and Y is 1/12 of total women.
Hence, total No. of employees = 9X + 12Y = 3552.
45X + 60Y = (9X + 12Y) x 5
=> Amount spent = 3552 x 5 = 17,760.
