Question

33. A labourer is engaged for 20 days on the condition that he will receive 120 for each day he
works and will be fined 10 for each day he is absent. If he receives 1880 in all, for how
many days did he remain absent?​

Answer 1

Answer:

So the labourer remain absent for 4 days and worked for 16 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the labourer worked for x days,

Then he is absent for (20−x) days

Now,

According to the given conmdition-

120x−(20−x)×10=1880

120x−200+10x=1880

130x=2080

x=16,

So the labourer remain absent for 4 days and worked for 16 days.
