Jeremy earns $90 per day. He receives and extra $35 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 43 days?
(a)
Amount that Jeremy earns after working for 4 days
= 90 x 4 + 35
= 360 + 35
= $395
(b)
Number of sets of 4 days in 43 days
= 43 ÷ 4
= 10 r 3
Amount that Jeremy earns for working 10 sets of 4 days
= 10 x 395
= $3950
Amount that Jeremy earns after working 3 days
= 3 x 90
= $270
Total amount that Jeremy earns after working for 43 days
= 3950 + 270
= $4220
Answer(s): (a) $395; (b) $4220
