Question

5. A worker is paid R250 for each day he works and is fined 75 for each day he remains absent.
If in 40 days, he earned 8900; find for how many days did he work?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

he worked for 36.5 days

one day is half worked

therefore 36.5 × 250 = rs 9125

3 leaves

(75×3) = 225

therefore 9125 - 225 = 8900

sum matched

so he worked for 36 & half days
