the average salary / head of all the workers ina workshop is rs . 850 , if the average salary / head of 7 technician is rs . 1000 and the average salary / head of the rest is rs . 780 , 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 7 technician + sum of salary for other y - 7 workers . 7 x 1000 + 780 ( y - 7 ) = 850 y ⇒ 7000 + 780 y - 5460 = 850 y ⇒ 70 y = 1540 ∴ y = 22 so total number of workers = 22 c
divide(subtract(multiply(7, 1000), multiply(7, 780)), subtract(850, 780))
