You want to know each person's rate for how many Rs per day and this will be a simple unit conversion for each "person". The "1-watch price" is how many Rs for 1 watch or so many .

Here, r is for the one-watch repair price for person B.
                 WATCHES/DAY       1-WATCH PRICE    Rs/DAY

PERSON A         15                (5/4)r           15*(5/4)r

PERSON B         18                 r               18*r


Person B earns Rs.1088 per day.
Can the value for r be found?
-
, based on .
Simply use multiplicative inverse of the left side, apply to both sides,



What is daily income of person A?
Recheck the data table, and that is the daily income for person A. r is also now been found.
