Question
Subramaniam and Naidu donate some money in a Relief Fund. The amount paid by Naidu is ₹ 125 more than that of Subramaniam. If the total money paid by them is ₹ 975, find the amount of money donated by Subramaniam.
Solution
Let ₹ x be the amount donated in a Relief fund by Subramaniam. Then, the amount donated by Naidu will be ₹ (x + 125)
According to the question,
x + x + 125 = 975
⇒ 2x = 975 – 125 ......[Transposing 125 to RHS]
⇒ 2x = 850
⇒ x = ₹ 425 ......[Dividing both sides by 2]
Hence, the amount of money donated by Subramaniam is ₹ 425.
