Answer 1

Answer:

A worker was put on some job for 50 days on the condition that he would get $ 50 for each day, he worked and would be fined $ 5 for each day, he remained absent. If he got $ 740 in all, for how many days, he was absent ?​

answer:Let the no. of days he remained present be X and the no. of days he remained absent be y

X+y=50 (equation 1)

the amount of money he was given for the days he was present =50x

the amount of money he would be fined =5y

According to question, 50x-5y=740(equation 2)

solving equation 1 and 2 we get

x=18,y=32

thus he remained absent for  32 days.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hi so in short your answer is . he remains absent for 32 days okay
