Question

A labourer was hired for a month 30 days on the condition that he will receive rupees 60 each day he works and will be find rupees 10 each day he is absent at the end of the month he received rupees 1380 how many days did he work

Answer 1

suppose he was present for = x days
then absent for = 30-x days

now equation would be

 x (60) - (30-x)(10) =  1380

60x - 300 + 10x = 1380

70x = 1380+300 = 1680

x = 1680/70 = 24

Thus he was at work for 24 days.

Answer 2

The laborer worked for a total of 24 days in the month.

Given:

Number of days for which the laborer is hired = 30

Amount received for working 1 day = Rs 60

Amount deducted for being absent each day = Rs 10

Total amount received by the laborer at the end of the day = Rs 1380

To Find:

The number of days that the laborer works

Solution:

Let the number of days the laborer works be x

Thus, the number of days he is absent = (30 - x)

Now, we can form the following equation-

60x - 10(30 - x) = 1380

60x - 300 + 10x = 1380

70x - 300 = 1380

70x = 1680

x = 1680/70

x = 24

Thus, the number of days the laborer worked is 24.
