Step-by-step explanation:
According to the question, he gets Rs. 120 for each day he works, so the total amount earned for working for x days is 120x. Also, Rs. 10 fined for being absent, so total fine for being absent for (20-x) days is (20−x)×10.

Step-by-step explanation:
total days 20
absent days = x
amount received=(20-x)×120 - 10x
=2400-120x -10x
=2400 -130x =1880
=2400-1880 =130 x
= 520 =130 x
x=520/130
= 4days
