Question
I saw this in the newspaper. Governments of different states have said that farmworkers 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.
- Bhairon Singh is a worker in Rajasthan. If he works for 8 weeks on the farm, how much will he earn?
Solution
Salary of a farmworker in Rajasthan for 1 day = Rs 73 It is given that Bhairon Singh works for 8 weeks in the farm.
Number of days in 1 week = 7
∴ Number of days in 8 weeks = 8 × 7 = 56
Now, Bhairon Singh’s earnings for working in the farm for 56 days
= Rs 56 × 73
= Rs 4,088
Working:
73
× 56
438
3650
4088
Thus, Bhairon Singh will earn Rs 4,088 in 8 weeks.
