Henry earns $120 per day. He receives and extra $60 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 37 days?
(a)
Amount that Henry earns after working for 5 days
= 120 x 5 + 60
= 600 + 60
= $660
(b)
Number of sets of 5 days in 37 days
= 37 ÷ 5
= 7 r 2
Amount that Henry earns for working 7 sets of 5 days
= 7 x 660
= $4620
Amount that Henry earns after working 2 days
= 2 x 120
= $240
Total amount that Henry earns after working for 37 days
= 4620 + 240
= $4860
Answer(s): (a) $660; (b) $4860
