Just calcutate the value.
7W + H = 300,
4W + H = 30.
Solve the simultaneous equation.
H 330.
7W + H = 300,
4W + H = 30.
Solve the simultaneous equation.
H 330.

You are assuming that the values of two holidays are equal. Since the pay scale is not the same, so the value per day would not the same.

Let value of holiday = x.
Pay for seven week = 300+x.
Pay for one week = (300+x)/7.
Pay for four week = 30+x.
Pay for one week = (30+x)/4.
Therefore (300+x)/7 = (30+x)/4.
=> 1200+4x = 210 + 7x => 990 = 3x => x = 330.
Pay for seven week = 300+x.
Pay for one week = (300+x)/7.
Pay for four week = 30+x.
Pay for one week = (30+x)/4.
Therefore (300+x)/7 = (30+x)/4.
=> 1200+4x = 210 + 7x => 990 = 3x => x = 330.
