Solution :

Given :

per day payment = Rs 500

Let the man worked as a typist for x days in the month of February 2009.

Then

absent in the month of February 2009 = (29-x) days

[we know that, maximum number of days in February is 29]

Total paid amount for working days

= Rs 500x

and

per day deduction when he remained absent = Rs 100

Total amount deducted for being absent

= Rs 100 × (29-x)

Given

salary received by man for thee month of February is Rs 9100

According to the question,

500x - 100×(29-x) = 9100

\implies 500x - 2900 + 100x = 9100

\implies 600x = 9100 + 2900

\implies 600x = 12000

\implies x = 12000 ÷ 600

\implies x = 20

\therefore x = 20

Hence,

The man worked for 20 days

1) A man engaged as typist to the month of February in 2016 he was paid rs 500/day but rs100 deducted for the day he remained absent.he received rs 9100 as salary for a month .find out how many days did he work ?

Solution

2016 is a leap year so February month =29 days

Let the absent days is =x

Then present days=29-x

He paid for present=500/day

Absent rs deducted is= 100*x=100x

He received 9100 for a month

So we got the equation

500(29-x)-100x=9100

14500-500x-100x=9100

-600x=9100-14500

-600x=-5400

Minus cancel from both side

600x=5400

x=5400/600

x=9

Absent days =9days

Present days=29-9

                         =20 days
