Question

A laborours is engaged for 30 day on the condition that he will be funded 10 rupees for each day he is absent. If he was finally paid rupees 1860 how mauch day did he come to work.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Laborours was engaged for month

Each day he gets 60₹

If he present for 30 day, he will get 60×30₹ = 1800₹

For each day of his absence,

he will be fined 10₹

Assume that he was absent for x days

Then from the Total Salary 10x is deducted.

•°• Labourer salary per month

= (No. of days he was engaged × His pay for the engaged days) - (No. of Days he was absent × Fine for each day of his absence)

i.e.., S = (30 × 60) - (x × 10)

•°• S = 1800 - 10x

Given,

1700 = 1800 - 10x

=> 10x = 1800-1700

=> 10x = 100

=> x = 10

•°• No. of days the man was absent = 10
