Reggie earns $90 per day. He receives and extra $65 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 52 days?
(a)
Amount that Reggie earns after working for 5 days
= 90 x 5 + 65
= 450 + 65
= $515
(b)
Number of sets of 5 days in 52 days
= 52 ÷ 5
= 10 r 2
Amount that Reggie earns for working 10 sets of 5 days
= 10 x 515
= $5150
Amount that Reggie earns after working 2 days
= 2 x 90
= $180
Total amount that Reggie earns after working for 52 days
= 5150 + 180
= $5330
Answer(s): (a) $515; (b) $5330
