A contractor took a contract for 45 days and employed 110 workers. If they complete ¼ of work in 15 days then how many extra workers he need to complete it.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find how many man-days it took to do 1/4 of the job with 110 worker working 15 days.
\n" ); document.write( "110*15 = 1650 man-days to completed 1/4 of the job
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "3 * 1650 = 4950 man-days required to do the remaining 3/4 of the job
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Complete job requires 4 * 1650 = 6600 man-days
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = no. of extra workers required to finish in the remaining 30 days of the contract
\n" ); document.write( "30(x+110) = 4950
\n" ); document.write( "30x + 3300 = 4950
\n" ); document.write( "30x = 4950 - 3300
\n" ); document.write( "30x = 1650
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"1650%2F30\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 55 more workers needed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this
\n" ); document.write( "110*15 = 1650 man-days
\n" ); document.write( "165*30 = 4950 man-days
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "complete job: 6600 man-days\r
