Answer 1

Answer: 2178.57

Explanation:

Given

The employer pays 6100 total money a month

Suppose z receives A amount

Amount paid to y is 80% of A i.e.

`\Rightarrow y=0.8A`

Amount paid to x is 125% of y i.e.

`\Rightarrow x=1.25y=1.25* 0.8A=A`

The Sum of their total money must be 6100

`\Rightarrow A+0.8A+A=6100\\\Rightarrow 2.8A=6100\\\Rightarrow A=2178.57`

Amount receive by x is 2178.57
