George earns $110 per day. He receives and extra $25 for every 4 days of work.
- How much will he earn altogether after working for 4 days?
- How much will he earn altogether after working for 26 days?
(a)
Amount that George earns after working for 4 days
= 110 x 4 + 25
= 440 + 25
= $465
(b)
Number of sets of 4 days in 26 days
= 26 ÷ 4
= 6 r 2
Amount that George earns for working 6 sets of 4 days
= 6 x 465
= $2790
Amount that George earns after working 2 days
= 2 x 110
= $220
Total amount that George earns after working for 26 days
= 2790 + 220
= $3010
Answer(s): (a) $465; (b) $3010
