the average salary / head of allthe workers in a workshop is rs . 1200 , if the average salary / head of 10 technician is rs . 1400 and the average salary / head of the rest is rs . 900 , 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 10 technician + sum of salary for other y - 10 workers . 10 x 1400 + 900 ( y - 10 ) = 1200 y ⇒ 14000 + 900 y - 9000 = 1200 y ⇒ 300 y = 5000 ∴ y = 17 so total number of workers = 17 b
divide(subtract(multiply(10, 1400), multiply(10, 900)), subtract(1200, 900))
