Brandon earns $120 per day. He receives and extra $25 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 38 days?
(a)
Amount that Brandon earns after working for 5 days
= 120 x 5 + 25
= 600 + 25
= $625
(b)
Number of sets of 5 days in 38 days
= 38 ÷ 5
= 7 r 3
Amount that Brandon earns for working 7 sets of 5 days
= 7 x 625
= $4375
Amount that Brandon earns after working 3 days
= 3 x 120
= $360
Total amount that Brandon earns after working for 38 days
= 4375 + 360
= $4735
Answer(s): (a) $625; (b) $4735
