Vincent earns $50 per day. He receives and extra $70 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 34 days?
(a)
Amount that Vincent earns after working for 4 days
= 50 x 4 + 70
= 200 + 70
= $270
(b)
Number of sets of 4 days in 34 days
= 34 ÷ 4
= 8 r 2
Amount that Vincent earns for working 8 sets of 4 days
= 8 x 270
= $2160
Amount that Vincent earns after working 2 days
= 2 x 50
= $100
Total amount that Vincent earns after working for 34 days
= 2160 + 100
= $2260
Answer(s): (a) $270; (b) $2260
