Answer 1

Answer:

30 workers

Step-by-step explanation:

given, average salary of 8 skilled workers = 15000

therefore, the sum of salaries of 8 skilled workers = 15000*8 = 1,20,000

let total no. of workers be x.

then, no. of unskilled worker = x-8

also, given average salary of unskilled workers = 9000

therefore, sum of salaries of (x-8) unskilled workers = 9000*(x-8)

                                                                                      = 9000x-72000

now, average salary of all the workers = (120000+9000x-72000)/x = 10600

= 48000 = 1600x

= x= 30.
