Not counting the 4 Sundays, there were 30-4=26 working days in the 30-day period.
if x= the number of hours he was late, his pay, in Rs, should be
26%2A110-10x .
If he was paid Rs 2570 ,
2570=26%2A110-10x
2570=2860-10x
10x=2860-2570
10x=290
x=290%2F10
highlight%28x=29%29
He was late for highlight%2829%29 hours for the month.
