Question

A labour is engaged for 50 days on the condition that he will get rs 25 each day and will give rs 10 if he is absent. if he works for x days , find a formula to find his total wages , rs W , for 50 days​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

5 Days

If he had worked for 25 Days he would have received Rs (25*2) =Rs 50

But he received Rs 37.50

So he lost (Rs 50-Rs37.50)=Rs 12.50

For 1 day absent he does not get that day's payment +fine Rs 0.50=Rs 2.50

OR Rs 2.50 is lost for 1 day absent

So Rs 12.50 will be lost for 1/2.50*12.50= 5days absent

SO HE WAS ABSENT FOR 5 days
