Luis earns $80 per day. He receives and extra $45 for every 6 days of work.
- How much will he earn altogether after working for 6 days?
- How much will he earn altogether after working for 52 days?
(a)
Amount that Luis earns after working for 6 days
= 80 x 6 + 45
= 480 + 45
= $525
(b)
Number of sets of 6 days in 52 days
= 52 ÷ 6
= 8 r 4
Amount that Luis earns for working 8 sets of 6 days
= 8 x 525
= $4200
Amount that Luis earns after working 4 days
= 4 x 80
= $320
Total amount that Luis earns after working for 52 days
= 4200 + 320
= $4520
Answer(s): (a) $525; (b) $4520
