Question

a labour was engaged for 30 days on contract. payment for each day work was Rs.200 but for his absent deduction of Rs.50 was made.in the end he recived Rs.4500. he was absent for how many days ?

Answer 1

each day wage = 200
absent deduction = 50
let he present for x days
and absent for 30 -x
200x - 50 ( 30 - x) = 4500
200 x - 1500 + 50 x = 4500
250 x = 6000
x= 24
absent days = 30 - 24 = 6 days
