Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given A software engineer agrees to work one year for an employer for $55 000 and a laptop. The engineer realizes after 7 months that he was underpaid and he quits. The employer gave him $30 000 and the laptop. How much was the laptop worth?

• Let the cost of the laptop be Rs m
• So the engineer agrees to work for one year to get laptop and Rs 55,000
• So the amount the engineer receives after 12 months will be Rs (55,000 + m)
• So the amount for 1 month will be 55,000 + m / 12
• Now the amount the engineer need to get for work after 7 months will be
•                                                           = 55,000 + m / 12 x 7
• According to the question
•              55000 + m / 12 x 7 = 30000 + m
•            3,85,000 + 7m = 3,60,000 + 12 m
•                  5m = 25,000
•               Or m = 25,000 / 5
•              Or m = 5,000
• Therefore the laptop was worth Rs 5000
