Zane earns $80 per day. He receives and extra $75 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 65 days?
(a)
Amount that Zane earns after working for 6 days
= 80 x 6 + 75
= 480 + 75
= $555
(b)
Number of sets of 6 days in 65 days
= 65 ÷ 6
= 10 r 5
Amount that Zane earns for working 10 sets of 6 days
= 10 x 555
= $5550
Amount that Zane earns after working 5 days
= 5 x 80
= $400
Total amount that Zane earns after working for 65 days
= 5550 + 400
= $5950
Answer(s): (a) $555; (b) $5950
