A mason was employed at a construction site for a period of60days.He was given Rs250 per day but if he was absent from work a sum of Rs75 was deducted per day. At the end of 60 days he received Rs12400. Find the number of days he was absent.
let total deduction = x
250*60 - x = 12400
15000 - x = 12400
1600= x
now days he was absent = 1600/75
=21.33 days
250*60 - x = 12400
15000 - x = 12400
1600= x
now days he was absent = 1600/75
=21.33 days
