Question

A worker is paid Rs 210 for 6 days work. If his total income of the month is Rs 875, for how many days did he work?

Answer 1

Let the number of working days be ‘x’ days.

Income (Rs)	210	875
Number of working days	6	x

210/6 = 875/x

By cross-multiplying

210x = 875(6)

210x = 5250

x = 5250/210

= 25

∴ The man works for 25 days when his income is Rs 875 per/month.
