​

Answer 1

Answer:

The worker was absent for 12 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of days he was absent be 'x'.

So he worked for (30-x) days.

If he works, then he is paid Rs 150.

So, his total wage:

150*(30-x) -50x= 2100

4500-150x-50x=2100

4500-200x=2100

4500-2100=200x (On transposing -200x to R.H.S, it becomes 200x)

2400=200x

x= 12 days.
