Question

10 workers can earn rest. 720 in 12 days working a hour a day. How much will 16 workers earn in 24 days working 6 hours a day

Answer 1

Answer:

10 workers can earn rest. 720 in 12 days working a hour a day.

Let y be the per hour pay of a worker.

so,

number of workers x days they work x number of hours they work per day x salary per hour

Now for the same work

(10 x 12 x 1 x y) = 720

120y= 720

y = $720 \over 120$

y = 6

Salary per hour = 6

Now,

16 workers x 24 days x 6 hours per day x 5 day per hour = ?

16 x 24 x 6 x 6 = 13,824.

Hence, 16 workers will earn rest. 13,824 in 24 days working 6 hours a day.
