Wesley earns $50 per day. He receives and extra $55 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 59 days?
(a)
Amount that Wesley earns after working for 6 days
= 50 x 6 + 55
= 300 + 55
= $355
(b)
Number of sets of 6 days in 59 days
= 59 ÷ 6
= 9 r 5
Amount that Wesley earns for working 9 sets of 6 days
= 9 x 355
= $3195
Amount that Wesley earns after working 5 days
= 5 x 50
= $250
Total amount that Wesley earns after working for 59 days
= 3195 + 250
= $3445
Answer(s): (a) $355; (b) $3445
