⭐Hey user!⭐

✔Thanks for asking this question! It's a really very good question.

↪Here's your answer!!

Let the no. of days absent be = a
Then no. of days worked will be = 20-a
⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇
Pay amount - Final amount = 745
60(20-a) - 5a = 745
1200 - 60a - 5a = 745
-65a = 745 - 1200
-65a = -455
[Minus is on both sides, so we can cancel the minus sign]
65a = 455
$a = \frac{455}{65} \\ a = 7$

So, the labour was absent for 7 days.
That means he worked for 13 days.
