Question

Some labourers were hired to finish a piece of work. They could finish the work in 9 days, but due to some reason, six of them did not join the work. The rest of them could finish the same work in 15 days.How many labourers were employed originally?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total no. of laboures employed be = x

According to Question

9*x=15(x-6)

9x=15x-90

9x-15x=-90

-6x=-90

x=-90/-6

x=15

The total number of laboures employed are 15 laboures.

Check:-

9*15=(15-6)15

135=9*15

135=135

LHS=RHS

Hence proved that the numbers of laboures employed are 15.
