Question 1082143: 28 peons can finish the job in 60 days,. At the start of 16th day 5 peons were laid off and after the 45th days, 10 more peons were hired. How many days they were delayed finishing the job? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 28 peons x 60 days=1680 peons in 1 day
28 x 15/1680=1/4 of the work done after 15 days
(46-16) x 23/1680 +420/1680=1110/1680ths of the work done
1680-1110=570/1680 of the work left
570/1680 / 33/1680=570/33=17.27 days of work left after the 45th day
45+17.27-60=2.272727 days delayed finishing the job. ☺☺☺☺
