Administrative

There are 21 employees working in a warehouse: manual workers and clerical workers. When wages were adjusted, the daily wage of each clerical worker was reduced by €3 and the daily wage of each manual worker was increased by €2, resulting in the total daily wage bill increasing by €17. Calculate how many manual workers and how many clerical workers are employed in the warehouse.

Final Answer:

a =  5
r =  16

Step-by-step explanation:

a+r=21 (A3) a+(R+2) r=17 + A a+R r  (A3) a+(R+2) (21a)=17 + A a+R (21a) a A  a R  5 a + 21 R + 42 = a A  a R + 21 R + 17  5 a+42=17  5 a+42=17  5a=25  a=525=5  a=5
r=21a=215=16
