Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- Let total number of workers in workshop = x
Then, total salary of all workers $ =8000\times x $
According to the question,
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 8000x=7\times 12000+(x-7)\times 6000 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 8000x=84000+6000x-42000 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 8000x-6000x=84000-42000 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 2000x=42000\Rightarrow x=21 $
