a man employs 20 men, 15 women and x children. he pays daily wages of rs 10 per men rs 8 per women and rs 4 per child. his daily average wages bill works out to rs 8.50 per person. what the value of x?

• 20*10 +15*8 +x*4/20+15+x = 8.5
  x= 5 child..

• 20*10 + 15*8 + 4*x = 8.5 *(20+15+x)
  200+120+4x=85/10 (35+x)
  320+4x = 85/10(35+x)
  3200+40x = 2973+85x
  45x=225
  x=5....

  (20*10 + 15*8 + x*4)/(20+15+x)=8.5
  x=5

  Total number of people = 20+15+x = 35 + x.
  Total wage = (20*10) + (15*8) + 4x.
  
  BTW, (20*10) + (15*8) + 4x = 8.50(35 + x)
  Solving the equation we get the value of x = 5.

• 8.5*(20+15+x)=(20*10)+(15*8)+(4*x)
  170+127.5+8.5x=200+120+4x
  4.5x=320-297.5
  x=5
  number of children =5
