Question
I saw this in the newspaper. Governments of different states have said that farm workers should not be paid less than this salary for a day's work
| State | Salary for one day |
| Haryana | Rs 135 |
| Rajasthan | Rs 73 |
| Madhya Pradesh | Rs 97 |
| Orissa | Rs 75 |
The table shows the amounts fixed by four states.
- Neelam is a worker in Haryana. If she works for 2 ½ months on the farm, how much will she earn?
Solution
Salary of a farmworker in Haryana for 1 day = Rs 135
It is given that Neelam works for 212 months in the farm.
Number of days in 1 month = 30
Number of days in half a month = 30 ÷ 2 = 15
∴ Number of days in 2 1/2 months = 30 + 30 + 15 = 75
Now, Neelam’s earnings for working in the farm for 75 days
= Rs 135 × 75
= Rs 10,125
Working:
135
× 75
675
9450
10125
Thus, Neelam will earn Rs 10,125 in 2 1/2 months.
