Question

A labourer is engaged for 20 days on the condition that he will receive ₹280 for each day he works and will be fined ₹60 for each day he is absent. If he receives ₹2540in all, for how many daysdid he remain absent?​

Answer 1

Answer:

9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be number of days absent

then

(20-a) = number of days worked

Pay amt - fine amt = 2540

280(20-a) - 60a = 2540

5600 - 280a- 60a = 2540

-340a = -3060

a = -3060/-340

a = 9

Therefore, he was absent for 9 days.
