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:

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
