Question

A labour is engaged for 20days on the condition that he will receive rs 60 for each day he work and he will be fined rs 5 for each day absent if he receives rs 745 in all for how many days he remaimed

Answer 1

Let a = number of days absent

then

(20-a) = number of days worked

:

Pay amt - fine amt = 745

60(20-a) - 5a = 745

1200 - 60a - 5a = 745

-65a = 745 - 1200

-65a = -455

a = -455/-65

a = 7 days absent

Check this, he worked 13 days so we have:

13(60) - 7(5) = 780 - 35 = 745; confirms our solution
