the average salary / head of all the workers in a workshop is rs . 1100 , if the average salary / head of 9 technician is rs . 1300 and the average salary / head of the rest is rs . 880 , the total no . of workers in the work - shop is ?
let the total number of workers be y . so sum of salary for all workers = sum of salary of 9 technician + sum of salary for other y - 9 workers . 9 x 1300 + 880 ( y - 9 ) = 1100 y ⇒ 11700 + 880 y - 7920 = 1100 y ⇒ 220 y = 3780 ∴ y = 17 so total number of workers = 17 d
divide(subtract(multiply(9, 1300), multiply(880, 9)), subtract(1100, 880))
