Answer 1

total salary of worker=150*20=3000

revived amount=2100

remaining amount=3000-2100=900

no of days absent=900/30=30 days

Answer 2

Given:

Total salary $= 2100$ rupees

Payment reduction from absenteeism $= 30$ rupees

To find:

We need to find the number of days the laborers remain absent.

Step-by-step explanation:

• We can easily find the number of absenteeism by forming an equation.
• We can plot the unknown number of days to be "x".

Solution:

let the number of days the workers remain absent $= x$

The total number of payments that would have been done to workers  $= 150 *20$

The salary that they got $= 2100$ rupees

Now the difference between total salary and the actual salary:

$= 3000 - 2100\\\\=900$

Now let the days of absenteeism be $= 30x$

According to the question:

$30x = 900\\\\x = \frac{900}{30}\\\\x= 30$

The workers did not come for thirty days.
