One year payment to the servant is Rs. 200 plus one shirt. The servant leaves after 9 months and receives Rs.120 and a shirt.Then find the price of the shirt.

• 12 months--->Rs200 + shirt
  9 months --->Rs120 + shirt
  after subtracting eqn(2) from eqn(1) we get,(shirt is cancelled)
  3 months --->Rs80
  1 month --->Rs80/3
  12 months---> Rs80*12/3=320Rs
  hence from eqn(1) we get 320=200+shirt
  therefore shirt=120Rs

• One year payment to the servant is Rs. 200 plus one shirt. The servant leaves after 9 months and receives Rs.120 and a shirt.
  It means salary for 3 months = Rs 80
  salary for 1 year = Rs 320.
  price of shirt = 320-200= Rs 120.

• let:shirt price=x
  12 months payment is 200+x
  9 months payment is 120+x
  so 12(120+x)=9(200+x)
  x=120

• ans=Rs.120
  
  12 mnths- 200+S(cost of shirt,say)
  9 mnths - (200+S)*(9/12)
  now, (200+S)*(9/12)=120+S
  solve..... solution is 120

• suppose shirt price=x
  then salary for 12 months= 200+x let say y.(y=200+x)
  for 9 months salary=120+x=(9y/12)
  replace the value of y.
  that is 600+3x=480+4x
  -->x=120/-

• 9 months out of 12 months =9/12
  so for 3/4 year he receives 120 rs +shirt
  shirt be "s"
  3/4(200+s)=120+s
  3(200+s)=4s+480
  4s-3s=600-480
  s=120

• 12 -> 200+X
  9 -> 120+X
  120*12+12X=200*9+9X
  3X = 200*9 - 120*12
  X = 200*3 - 120*4
  X = 600 -480
  X = 120
