Question

labourer is engaged for 20 days on the condition that he will receive ₹60 for a day he works and he will be fined ₹5 for each day, if he is absent. If he receives ₹745 in for how many days he remained absent?

Answer 1

Answer: 91 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Labor is engaged for 20 days

Earning ₹60 per day and losing ₹5 for absent days.

Total amount of earning in 20 days = ₹(20 x 60)

= ₹1200

Amount of money he got from working = ₹745

Amount of money he lost = ₹ (1200 - 745)

Amount of money lost = ₹455

Let the number of absent days be a

Thus

a x 5 = 455

a = 455/5

a = 91
