An employer pays 3 workers X, Y and Z a total of Tk. 36600 a week. X is paid 125% of the amount Y is paid and 80% of the amount Z is paid . How much does X make a week? Correct Answer 12000

X = 125% of y = 125y/100 = 5y/4 Or, y = 4x/5 Again, X = 80% of z = 80z/100 = 4z/5 Or, z = 5x/4 X:y:z = x:4x/5:5x/4 = 20:16:25 Sum of ratio = 20 + 16 + 25 = 61   So, x makes a week = 20/61 × 36600 = 20×600 = 12000 tk. (ans)
