Question

A man is engaged as a typist for 30 days on the condition that he receives
175 for each day he works and has to pay 50 for each day he remains
absent. If he receives ? 4125 in all, for how many days does he remain absent?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total days = 30

Money for each day = Rs 175

Money for 30 days = 175 × 30

= 5250

Absent days charge = Rs 50

Money he got = Rs 4125

Total charge for absent days = 5250 -

4125

= 1125

: no. Of absent days = 1125/50

= 22.5

Therefore he was absent for 22 days and a half day.

Answer 2

Answer:

let the no of days present be x

so absent days will be 30-x

so

175x-(30-x)50=4125

225x=4275

x=19

so no of days present. ..19

and no of days absent ...30-19

11...
