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 ₹2540 in all, for how many days Hid he remain absent?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = number of days absent

(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 = %28-455%29%2F%28-65%29

a = 7 days absent

Check this, he worked 13 days so we have:

13(60) - 7(5) =

780 - 35 = 745
