Oliver earns $50 per day. He receives and extra $60 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 28 days?
(a)
Amount that Oliver earns after working for 6 days
= 50 x 6 + 60
= 300 + 60
= $360
(b)
Number of sets of 6 days in 28 days
= 28 ÷ 6
= 4 r 4
Amount that Oliver earns for working 4 sets of 6 days
= 4 x 360
= $1440
Amount that Oliver earns after working 4 days
= 4 x 50
= $200
Total amount that Oliver earns after working for 28 days
= 1440 + 200
= $1640
Answer(s): (a) $360; (b) $1640
