उत्तर
Given, total number of days in contract = 30
Money received per day for working = ₹ 120
Money deducted per day for being absent = ₹ 10
And amount received by employee as salary = ₹ 2300
Let the employee remained absent for x days.
Then, employee worked for (30 – x) days.
According to the question,
120(30 – x) – 10x = 2300
⇒ 3600 – 120x – 10x = 2300
⇒ – 130x = – 3600 + 2300
⇒ – 130x = – 1300
⇒ x = `-1300 xx ((-1)/130)`
∴ x = 10
Therefore, employee remained absent for 10 days.
