A man was hired under the agreement that he would receive the highest daily wage. The total contract amount was Rs. 1189, but he was ultimately paid Rs. 1073. How many days did he actually work?

Explanation

To find the number of days worked, calculate the highest daily wage by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of Rs. 1189 and Rs. 1073, which is 29. Dividing the actual payment Rs. 1073 by 29 gives 37 days.
