A daily wage worker was paid Rs 1700 during a period of 30 days. Durin

1.	A daily wage worker was paid Rs 1700 during a period of 30 days. During this period he was absent for 4 days and was fined Rs 15 per day for absence. He was paid the full salary only for 18 days as he came late on the other days. Those who came late were given only half the salary for that day. What was the total salary paid per month to a worker who came on time every day and was never absent ? (a) Rs 2400 (b) Rs 3000 (c) Rs 2700 (d) Rs 2250
Answer» (a) Let the salary of the worker per day be Rs x. Then, 18 × x + 8 × \(\frac{x}2\) – 4 × 15 = 1700 ⇒ 18x + 4x - 60 = 1700 ⇒ 22 = 1760 ⇒ x = \(\frac{1760}{22} = 80\) ∴ Total salary of a worker who came everyday on time for 30 days = 30 × Rs 80 = Rs 2400

Answer»

(a) Let the salary of the worker per day be Rs x.

Then, 18 × x + 8 × \(\frac{x}2\) – 4 × 15 = 1700

⇒ 18x + 4x - 60 = 1700 ⇒ 22 = 1760

⇒ x = \(\frac{1760}{22} = 80\)

∴ Total salary of a worker who came everyday on time for 30 days = 30 × Rs 80 = Rs 2400
