The total number of workers that earn $75 per day is 48

What is average salary?

The average salary is calculated based on reported salaries of respondents. The average salary definition is to add the salaries in the sample together, then divide by the number of respondents.

Given that:

In a group of 60 workers, the average salary is $80 a day per worker.

If some of the workers earn $75 a day and all the rest earn $100 a day.

Let 'x' be the total number of workers that earn $75 per day.

So, the total number of workers that earn $100 per day is (60 - x).

As the average salary of 60 workers is $80.

Then,

$\frac{75x + 100(60-x)}{60} =80$

or, 75 x + 6000- 100x = 80*68

or, -25x= -1200

       x= 48

So, the total number of workers earn $75 per day is 48.
