Question

5. A man was engaged on a job for 30 days on the condition that he would get a wage of rs. 10 for the day he works, but he have to pay a fine of rs. 2 for each day of his absence. If he gets rs. 216 at the end, he was absent for work for ... Days.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let he work for X days then he was absent for (30 -X) days.

Total Paid = Rs. 216

Now according to question,

10 *X - 2*(30 -X) = 216

10X - 60 +2X = 216

12X = 276.

X = 23 days.

No. of working days = 23, therefore

No. of absent = 30 -X = 30 - 23 = 7 days.
