Question

a labour engaged for 20 days on the condition that he will receive regular. 60 for each day he works and he will be fined rs.5 for each day he is absent .if he received rs.745 in all for how many days he remained absent ?

Answer 1

let present day be x
absent day =20-x
A/q x×60 -(20-x)×5 =745
60x - 100+5x =745
65x=745+100
x =845÷65
x =13
thus, present day =13
and absent day =20 - 13 =7 days

Answer 2

Answer:

7 days absent and 13 days present

Step-by-step explanation:-

let present day be x

absent day =20-x

Absent/present

x×60 - (20-x) × 5 = 745

60x - 100+5x =745

60x+5x = 745+100

65x=745+100

65x = 845

x = 845÷65

x =13

Therefore, present day =13

amd absent day =20 - 13 =7 days
