Answer 1

Answer:

He break 5 glasses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that there are 100 wine glasses. I offered my servant to 3 paise for every broken glass to be delivered safely.

Let x is the number of glasses got broken.

I offered my servant to 3 paise for every broken glass to be delivered safely and forfeit 9 paisa for every glass broken at the end of day.

If a glass has been broken, then my servant has to loose:

3 paisa + 9 paise = 12 paise at the end of day

Now to calculate the number of glass broken simply multiply the 100 with 3 and subtract it from 12 times of x which is equal to 240

100 × 3 - 12 × x = 240

300 - 12x = 240

12x = 300 - 240

12x = 60

x = 5

Hence, he break 5 glasses.

Answer 2

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

3 paise for every unbroken glass and -9 paise for every broken glass .

Assume he broken x glasses  and total number of glass=100(given)

(100-x)3 -9x =240

300–3x -9x =240

12x=60

x=5

Therefore, Broken glasses =5 no's
