Solution
- Salary of a farmworker in Madhya Pradesh for 1 day = Rs 97
It is given that a farmworker works for 9 weeks on the farm.
Number of days in 1 week = 7
∴ Number of days in 9 weeks = 9 × 7 = 63
Now, Earnings of a farmworker for working in the farm for 63 days
= Rs 97 × 63
= Rs 6,111
Working:
97
× 63
291
5820
6111
Thus, a farmworker gets Rs 6,111 in 9 weeks working in Madhya Pradesh. - Salary of a farmworker in Orissa for 1 day = Rs 75
It is given that a farmworker works for 9 weeks on the farm.
We know 9 weeks = 63 days
Now, Earnings of a farmworker for working in the farm for 63 days
= Rs 75 × 63
= Rs 4,725
Working:
75
× 63
225
4500
4725
Thus, a farmworker gets Rs 4,725 in 9 weeks working in Orrisa.
Difference between the earnings of the farmworkers
= Rs 6,111 − Rs 4,725
= Rs 1,386
