In a field work there were three more men than women.The men were paid $300 each and women were paid $250 each.The total amount paid in one day is $7500.Find the no. of men and women.
let women are X than men are X+3
250X + 300(X+3)=7500
250x+300x+900=7500
550x +900==7500
550x=7500-900
550x=6600
x=6600/550=60/5=12
than men are 12+3=15
women are 12
