Let x=number of additional days it will take after the 24 more painters join in.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If 6 painters can complete the job in 45 days, then the job takes 6*45=270 painter-days to complete. In other one painter can complete the job in 270 days
\n" ); document.write( "In 10 days, 6 painters have completed 60 painter-days of work leaving 210 painter-days to be completed
\n" ); document.write( "OK now after 10 days, we have 24+6=30 painters to do 210 painter-days of work
\n" ); document.write( "So, our equation to solve is:
\n" ); document.write( "30x=210
\n" ); document.write( "x=7 days---------------additional days it will take after 24 more painters join in
\n" ); document.write( "CK
\n" ); document.write( "In 7 day, 6 painters do 6*7=42 painter-days of work
\n" ); document.write( "In 7 days,24 painters do 7*24=168 painter-days of work
\n" ); document.write( "42+168=210
\n" ); document.write( "210=210\r
