he was absent for 2 days because reminder is 100
(2×50)+(23×175) =4125

Answer 2

5 days he remains absent

EXPLANATION:

Let the typist say be absent from work for x number of days

Given, the man engaged the typist for 30 days

Then in that case the typist would be present for $(30-x)$.

The total money received by the typist is INR 4125

According to the provided condition

Given, the man would pay the typist INR 175 for each day the typist work and the typist must pay INR 50 for each day that he was absent.

Therefore,

$\left((30-x)^{*} 175\right)-x^{*} 50=4125$

$5250-175 x-50 x=4125$

$-225 x=4125-5250$

$-225 x=-1125$

Therefore, $x = -1125/-225$ which is 5

Hence, the number of days that typist was absent was for 5 days
