Question

a worker was put on some job for 50 days on the condition that he would get rupees 50 for each day,
he worked and would be fined rs 5for each day, as I remembered as absent. if he got rupees 740 in all , for how many days ,he was absent

Answer 1

Answer:

let the number of days he was absent be x

therefore number of days he was present is 50-x

740= (50-x)×50 - 5x

740= 2500 - 50x-5x

0=2500-740-55x

0= 1760-55x

55x=1760

x=1760/55= 32

therefore he was absent for 32 days
