Question 21 of 60intermediate🔧 ApplyNumerical4 marks

The owner of an electric store has decided to distribute ₹5500 equally amongst 5 of his employees as a Diwali gift. What amount will each employee get? What will happen if he distributes the same amount of money among 10 employees? Will each employee get more or less? How much money would he have to distribute if everyone must get the same amount as earlier?

Correct Answer

Given: Total amount = ₹5500

For 5 employees: ₹5500 ÷ 5 = ₹1100 ∴ Each employee gets ₹1100

For 10 employees: ₹5500 ÷ 10 = ₹550 ∴ Each employee gets ₹550 ₹550 < ₹1100 ∴ Each employee gets less than before.

To give ₹1100 to each of 10 employees: ₹1100×101100 \times 10 = ₹11000 ∴ Total amount needed = ₹11000

Explanation

For 5 employees: 5500 ÷ 5 = 1100 per employee. For 10 employees: 5500 ÷ 10 = 550 per employee. Each employee gets less (₹550 instead of ₹1100) when the same amount is divided among more people. To give each of 10 employees the same amount as before (₹1100), the total would need to be 1100×101100 \times 10 = ₹11000.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: For 5 employees: 5500 ÷ 5 = 1100 per employee

  2. Step 2: For 10 employees: 5500 ÷ 10 = 550 per employee

  3. Step 3: Each employee gets less (550 < 1100)

  4. Step 4: To give ₹1100 to each of 10 employees: 1100×101100 \times 10 = 11000
