Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) 18  B) 20  C) 22  D) 24  E) 26
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 + 780y - 5460 = 850y   ⇒ 70y = 1540   ∴ y = 22   So total number of workers = 22   22
