Q72 of 107 Page 104

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.

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 + 125 = 975


⇒ 2x = 975 – 125


⇒ 2x = 850


⇒ x = ₹425


Hence, the amount of money donated by Subramaniam is ₹ 425
