Answer 1

Answer:

He worked 20 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giver year is 2008 which is leap year.

Therefore February month has 29 days.

Now he received the salary of Rs.9100

When he works for 20 days, he will earn 20*5=10000Rs.

Now the remaining 9 days he was absent which means we have to deduct 9*100=900Rs.

Total salary=10000-900

=9100.

Therefore it is clear that he worked for 20 days and was absent for 9 days.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :

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 recievedRs. 9100 as salary

To Find :

find the no. of he absent

Solution:

Number of days in February in 2009 = 28

He was paid per day = Rs.500

Rs. 100 per day were deducted for the days he remained absent.

Let x be the no. of the days he absent

So,28-x are the number of days he was present

So Amount deducted for x days = 100x

Amount earned for 28-x days = 500(28-x)

We are given that He received Rs. 9100 as salary

So, 500(28-x)-100x=9100

14000-500x-100x=9100

14000-600x=9100

14000-9100=600x

4900=600x

${4900}x{6000}$

So, He was absent for 9 days
