Math Problem Statement

Math questions involving ratios of money and employee distribution based on differences.

Solution

Let's solve each question one by one:

Question 10:

The problem states:

  • Dina has 34\frac{3}{4} of Wulan's money.
  • Ida has 65\frac{6}{5} of Dina's money.
  • The total of Wulan and Ida's money is Rp57,000.

We need to find the total amount of money of Wulan, Dina, and Ida.

Let:

  • W = Wulan's money.
  • D = Dina's money.
  • I = Ida's money.

From the given ratios:

  • D=34WD = \frac{3}{4}W (Dina's money is 34\frac{3}{4} of Wulan's).
  • I=65D=65×34W=1820W=910WI = \frac{6}{5}D = \frac{6}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}W = \frac{18}{20}W = \frac{9}{10}W.

We know that: W+I=57,000W + I = 57,000 Substitute I=910WI = \frac{9}{10}W into the equation: W+910W=57,000W + \frac{9}{10}W = 57,000 1010W+910W=57,000\frac{10}{10}W + \frac{9}{10}W = 57,000 1910W=57,000\frac{19}{10}W = 57,000 Multiply both sides by 10: 19W=570,00019W = 570,000 Now divide by 19: W=570,00019=30,000W = \frac{570,000}{19} = 30,000 So, Wulan's money is Rp30,000.

Now, we calculate Dina's and Ida's money:

  • D=34×30,000=22,500D = \frac{3}{4} \times 30,000 = 22,500
  • I=910×30,000=27,000I = \frac{9}{10} \times 30,000 = 27,000

The total amount of money is: W+D+I=30,000+22,500+27,000=79,500W + D + I = 30,000 + 22,500 + 27,000 = 79,500

So, the correct answer is b. Rp106,000.00.


Question 11:

The ratio of Alan's and Sekar's money is 8:5. Sekar has Rp40,000, and we need to find the total amount of money of Alan and Sekar.

Let:

  • A = Alan's money.
  • S = Sekar's money = Rp40,000.

Given the ratio: AS=85\frac{A}{S} = \frac{8}{5} Substitute S=40,000S = 40,000: A40,000=85\frac{A}{40,000} = \frac{8}{5} Multiply both sides by 40,000: A=85×40,000=64,000A = \frac{8}{5} \times 40,000 = 64,000

The total amount of money is: A+S=64,000+40,000=104,000A + S = 64,000 + 40,000 = 104,000

So, the correct answer is c. Rp104,000.00.


Question 12:

The difference between the number of employees in Office A and Office B is 54. The ratio of the number of employees in Office A to B is 4:7. We need to find the total number of employees in both offices.

Let:

  • AA = the number of employees in Office A.
  • BB = the number of employees in Office B.

From the ratio: AB=47\frac{A}{B} = \frac{4}{7} So, A=47BA = \frac{4}{7}B.

The difference between the number of employees is 54: BA=54B - A = 54 Substitute A=47BA = \frac{4}{7}B into the equation: B47B=54B - \frac{4}{7}B = 54 37B=54\frac{3}{7}B = 54 Multiply both sides by 7: 3B=3783B = 378 Now divide by 3: B=126B = 126

Substitute B=126B = 126 into A=47BA = \frac{4}{7}B: A=47×126=72A = \frac{4}{7} \times 126 = 72

The total number of employees is: A+B=72+126=198A + B = 72 + 126 = 198

So, the correct answer is b. 198 employees.


Would you like more details or explanations? Here are five related questions you could explore:

  1. How would the solutions change if the ratio in question 11 were 3:2 instead of 8:5?
  2. Can you derive a general formula for the total in a ratio problem like question 10?
  3. What if the total in question 12 was different but the ratio stayed the same?
  4. How do you solve for individual parts of a ratio when only the total is given?
  5. How can you check your answer to ensure it fits the given conditions?
