Ahmad earns $50 per day. He receives and extra $45 for every 5 days of work.
- How much will he earn altogether after working for 5 days?
- How much will he earn altogether after working for 42 days?
(a)
Amount that Ahmad earns after working for 5 days
= 50 x 5 + 45
= 250 + 45
= $295
(b)
Number of sets of 5 days in 42 days
= 42 ÷ 5
= 8 r 2
Amount that Ahmad earns for working 8 sets of 5 days
= 8 x 295
= $2360
Amount that Ahmad earns after working 2 days
= 2 x 50
= $100
Total amount that Ahmad earns after working for 42 days
= 2360 + 100
= $2460
Answer(s): (a) $295; (b) $2460
