be fined Rs. 2. He received only Rs. 132. How many days he did not do
the work ?


please solve this question​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the days he was absent be x

Than the days he present will be 25-x

= (25-x)12

=300-12x

his fine = x ×2=2xhisfine=x×2=2x

300-12x-2x=132

=> -14x= 132-300= -168

=>-x =\frac {-168}{14 }= -12−x=

14

−168

=−12

so,

x = 12
