working hours per day. What is the total number of hours that he worked if he earned Rs 1800 in 5 weeks and was present on all working days?
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Wages for regular working hours = Rs 12/hr
Wages for overtime = Rs 15/hr
No. of days that the worker works = 4 days in a week
Working Hours in a day = 7 hours
To Find ;
Total number of hours that he worked if he earned Rs 1800 in 5 weeks
Solution :
Total regular working hours after 5 weeks by working 4 days in a week for 7 hours = 5 × 4 × 7 = 140 hours
Total wages that he will earn in 5 weeks after working for 7 hours in a day and 4 days in a week at Rs 12/hr = 5 × 7 × 4 × 12
= Rs 1680
He earned Rs 1800
Extra amount that he got = (1800 - 1680) = Rs 120
Total Extra hours that he worked = = 8 hours
Total hours that he worked = 140 + 8 = 148 hours
∴ The total number of hours that he worked if he earned Rs 1800 in 5 weeks and was present on all working days is 148 hours.
