Vaidev earns $50 per day. He receives and extra $50 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 35 days?
(a)
Amount that Vaidev earns after working for 4 days
= 50 x 4 + 50
= 200 + 50
= $250
(b)
Number of sets of 4 days in 35 days
= 35 ÷ 4
= 8 r 3
Amount that Vaidev earns for working 8 sets of 4 days
= 8 x 250
= $2000
Amount that Vaidev earns after working 3 days
= 3 x 50
= $150
Total amount that Vaidev earns after working for 35 days
= 2000 + 150
= $2150
Answer(s): (a) $250; (b) $2150
