Math Problem Statement

Seorang supervisor menerima Rp.60.000 lebih banyak dari 2 kali yang diterima bawahanya per hari. Kalau supervisor bekerja 5 hari dan bawahanya 10 hari mereka menerima Rp.2.100.000. Berapa banyak penghasilan mereka masing-masing?

Solution

Let's denote the daily wage of the subordinate as SS (in Rp) and the daily wage of the supervisor as RR (in Rp).

According to the problem, the supervisor receives Rp 60,000 more than twice the subordinate's daily wage. This can be written as: R=2S+60,000R = 2S + 60,000

The total earnings for both over their respective working days are:

  • The supervisor works 5 days, so their total earnings are 5R5R.
  • The subordinate works 10 days, so their total earnings are 10S10S.

Together, their total earnings amount to Rp 2,100,000. Thus: 5R+10S=2,100,0005R + 10S = 2,100,000

Now we have a system of two equations:

  1. R=2S+60,000R = 2S + 60,000
  2. 5R+10S=2,100,0005R + 10S = 2,100,000

Let's substitute the first equation into the second equation:

5(2S+60,000)+10S=2,100,0005(2S + 60,000) + 10S = 2,100,000

Distribute and simplify:

10S+300,000+10S=2,100,00010S + 300,000 + 10S = 2,100,000

Combine like terms:

20S+300,000=2,100,00020S + 300,000 = 2,100,000

Subtract 300,000 from both sides:

20S=1,800,00020S = 1,800,000

Divide both sides by 20:

S=1,800,00020S = \frac{1,800,000}{20}

S=90,000S = 90,000

Now, substitute S=90,000S = 90,000 back into the first equation to find RR:

R=2(90,000)+60,000R = 2(90,000) + 60,000

R=180,000+60,000R = 180,000 + 60,000

R=240,000R = 240,000

So, the subordinate's daily wage is Rp 90,000 and the supervisor's daily wage is Rp 240,000.

To confirm, we can check the total earnings:

For the subordinate: 10×90,000=900,00010 \times 90,000 = 900,000

For the supervisor: 5×240,000=1,200,0005 \times 240,000 = 1,200,000

Total earnings together: 900,000+1,200,000=2,100,000900,000 + 1,200,000 = 2,100,000

The calculations are correct. Thus, the subordinate earns Rp 90,000 per day and the supervisor earns Rp 240,000 per day.

  2. What would be the supervisor's daily wage if the subordinate earned Rp 100,000 per day?
  3. How can we set up and solve similar problems with different total earnings and working days?
  4. What is the impact on the total earnings if both the supervisor and subordinate work additional days?
  5. How do you verify solutions to ensure they meet all given conditions in word problems?

Tip: When solving word problems, carefully define variables and write down all equations derived from the problem statements to ensure accuracy.
