Solution

Step : Find the amount earned this week
Given : Amount earned by a man for working 48 hours in a week $= R s 4320$
Work done by him for 6 hours less than last week
$= 48 - 6$
$= 42$ hours
As money earned in $48$ hours $= R s 4320$
$\Rightarrow$ Money earned in 1 hour $= \frac{4320}{48}$
$∴$ Money earned in 42 hours $= \frac{42 \times 4320}{48}$
$= \frac{42 \times (90 \times 48)}{48}$
$= 3780$
$∴$ Money earned in 42 hours $= R s 3780$
Hence, a man earned $R s 3780$ this week.
