Question

A worker is engaged for 30 days on the condition that he will be paid RS 75 for each day he works but if he is absent, he will not get daily wages but also be fined RS 22.50 for that day. At the end of 30 days, the employee paid the worker RS 1275 in all. For how many days, was the worker absent

Answer 1

Answer:

5...

Let the no. of days he remain absent be x then no. of days he works = 30-x

according to the question,

150(30-x) - 20x = 3650

4500-150x-20x = 3650

170x = 4500-3650 = 850

x=850/170=85/17=5

therefore, for 5 days he remain absent

Answer 2

❥$\huge\underline\mathfrak\red{Answer}$

Let the number of days he remain absent = x

No.of days he works be 30-x

According to the Question-:

$150(30 - x) - 20x = 3650 \\ 4500 - 150x - 20x = 3650 \\ - 170x = 4500 - 3650 \\ - 170x = 850 \\ \frac{170}{850} = x$
