A man was engaged as typist for the month of February in 2009. He was paid rs 500 per day, but rs 100 per day were deducted for the days he remained absent. He received rs 9100 as salary for the month. For how many days did he work?
Answers
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
500x - 2900 + 100x = 9100
600x = 9100 + 2900
600x = 12000
x = 12000 ÷ 600
x = 20
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
