Question

if a labourer is engaged in work for 60 days on the condition that he will receive Rs 60 for each day he works and fined rupees 5 for each day he is absent. If he receives rupees 3145 in all, for how many days did he remain absent​

Answer 1

ANSWER :

Let the number of days be worked be x

The number of days he is absent = 20 - x

Form equation and solve for x :

120x -10 (20 - x) = 1880

120x - 200 + 10x = 1880

130x = 2080

x = 16

Find the number of days he remain absent:

Absent = 20 - x = 20 - 16 = 4 days

Answer: He was absent for 4 days
