Question

Question : A daily wage worker gets rupees 65 per day, if he works. But if he is absent from work, he is fined rupees 10 per day. According to these conditions he gets rupees 1790 for his work in January. Find the number of days of his absence from the work...

Answer 1

No. of days in January= 31
if he works every day in Jan he will get 65*31= 2015
if he works 28 days, earned = 65*31 - 3*10(coz he was absent three days)
= 1790

Answer 2

Answer:3

Step-by-step explanation:

The worker gets ₹65 for every day he works but is fined 10 for everyday of his absence.

Let , during his service period of 31 days in the month of january, he remains absent for x number of days. So, the amount of money he makes in (31-x) days after substracting the fine he accumulates in those x days will be his final income, i.e., 1790

Thus the equation becomes:

65×(31-x) - 10x = 1790

x=3

So he was absent for 3 days from work
