Question 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?
If ₹ 5500 will be divided equally among 5 employees, then each employee will get:
5500 ÷ 5 = moo
If ₹ 5500 will be divided equally among 10 employees, then each employee will get:
5500 ÷ 10 = ₹ 550
Since, ₹ 550 < ₹ 1100, in this case each employee will get less.
To find the required amount to be distributed equally among 10 employees so that each employee can get ₹ 1100, we need to multiply 1100 by 10.
1100 × 10 =11000
Therefore, the required amount is ₹ 11000.
