Question

A man was engaged as typist for month of February 2016.he was paid rupees 500 per day but rupees 100 were deducted for the days he was apsent .he received Rs 9100 as salary for the month .how many days did he worked?

Answer 1

working days x
absent days 29-x
working salary = 500× x
absent salary = 100× (29-x)
Total salary = working days - absent days
= 500x -100 (29-x) = 9100

500x - 2900 + 100x = 9100

600x = 9100+2900

600x = 12000

x = 20

so working days = 20 days
absent days 29-20= 9days

Answer 2

Answer:20 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of working days be x

Number of days in February = 29 days(leap year)

Total money to be paid=500X29 =14500

But money paid=9100

Absent days=29-x

Absent salary=100X(29-x)

According to the question:-

500x-100(29-x)=9100

500x-2900+100x=9100

500x+100x-2900=9100

600x-2900=9100

600x=9100+2900

600x=12000

x=12000/600

x=20

Therefore,

No of days =20
