An accountant is paid a certain sum for paying daily wages to freelancers as per their work on weekly basis. With the help of total money which she receives on weekly basis and the capital she is having with her, she can pay 90 freelancers for 52 weeks. If she is having 120 freelancers in order to design the full course content and the same amount which she receives along with capital she is having would suffice her for next 26 weeks, then how many freelancers she can afford for next 39 weeks?
An accountant is paid a certain sum for paying daily wages to freelancers as per their work on weekly basis. With the help of total money which she receives on weekly basis and the capital she is having with her, she can pay 90 freelancers for 52 weeks. If she is having 120 freelancers in order to design the full course content and the same amount which she receives along with capital she is having would suffice her for next 26 weeks, then how many freelancers she can afford for next 39 weeks? Correct Answer 138
⇒ C + 52W = 90 × 52 (I)
⇒ C + 26W = 120 × 26 (II)
⇒ Now, (I) – (II), we get,
⇒ 26W = 1560
⇒ W = 60
Putting the value of W in equation (I), we get,
⇒ C = 1560
Now the question asks how many freelancers can be maintained for 39 weeks,
⇒ Putting the value of W = 39 & C = 1560 in equation (1), we get,
⇒ 1560 + 52 × 39 = X × 26
⇒ X = 138
∴ She can afford 138 freelancers for 39 weeks
