A group bonus is divided among four employees in the ratio of their basic salaries which are in the ratio of 7,4,2 and 5 respectively.
if a total bonus of Rs 540 is to be divided among them
what would each employees receive?
:
let x = the multiplier
then the each bonus would be 7x, 4x, 2x, 5x
a simple equation
7x + 4x + 2x + 5x = 540
18x = 540
x = 540/18
x = 30
the bonus for each
30(7) = 210
30(4) = 120
30(2) = 60
30(5) = 150
--------------
Total = 540
