Question

Salman pays a total of Rs 21,000 as school fees of his two children. The fee of the elder child is

10% more than the fee of the younger child. Find the fee of both the children separately

Answer 1

Therefore, the fee of the younger child is Rs 10,000, and the fee of the elder child is Rs 11,000.

Explanation:

Let's assume that the fee of the younger child is 'x'. Then the fee of the elder child is '1.1*x' since it is 10% more than the fee of the younger child. The total fee paid by Salman for both his children is Rs 21,000. Therefore, we can write an equation as follows:

x + 1.1*x = 21,000

Simplifying the above equation, we get:

2.1*x = 21,000

x = 10,000

Thus, the fee of the younger child is Rs 10,000, and the fee of the elder child is 10% more, which is Rs 11,000.

Therefore, the fee of the younger child is Rs 10,000, and the fee of the elder child is Rs 11,000.
