Albert earns $120 per day. He receives and extra $50 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 48 days?
(a)
Amount that Albert earns after working for 5 days
= 120 x 5 + 50
= 600 + 50
= $650
(b)
Number of sets of 5 days in 48 days
= 48 ÷ 5
= 9 r 3
Amount that Albert earns for working 9 sets of 5 days
= 9 x 650
= $5850
Amount that Albert earns after working 3 days
= 3 x 120
= $360
Total amount that Albert earns after working for 48 days
= 5850 + 360
= $6210
Answer(s): (a) $650; (b) $6210
