Question

Daily wages for each labourer is RS.265. The total amount disbursed to the labourers is RS.5300. Find the total number of labourers.

Answer 1

 

Let call N the total number of labourers. Because each labourer wage Rs.265, at the end of the day

the total amount disbursed to the N labourers is:

 

N*RS.265 = RS.5300

 

Then, the total number of labourers is:    N = RS.5300/RS.265

 

                                                            N = 20

 

The total number of labourers is 20.
