Question

A man is engaged for 70 days. He is to receive Rs.24 per day, when he works, but has to pay a fine of Rs.6 for every day that he is absent. He receive altogether Rs.1230. How many days did he work?

Answer 1

if he work whole days he will be recieve 1680

but he he has recieved only 1230

hence 1680 - 1230= 450

so 24 (per day wages) + 6 (penelty for ansenty) = 30

so i have divided 450/30 = 15 days

so we can say that he has worked 55 days and he was absent for 15 days

Answer 2

Ans: Let us consider he worked for x days.

Wages for x days = 24x

The no. of days he was absent = 70-x

Fine payed by him for being absent = 6(70-x)

According to question;

24x-6(70-x) = 1230

30x-420 = 1230

30x = 1230+420

x= 1650/30

x= 55

Hence, he worked for 55 days.

Hope you understood the answer....
