Tim earns $110 per day. He receives and extra $60 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 22 days?
(a)
Amount that Tim earns after working for 4 days
= 110 x 4 + 60
= 440 + 60
= $500
(b)
Number of sets of 4 days in 22 days
= 22 ÷ 4
= 5 r 2
Amount that Tim earns for working 5 sets of 4 days
= 5 x 500
= $2500
Amount that Tim earns after working 2 days
= 2 x 110
= $220
Total amount that Tim earns after working for 22 days
= 2500 + 220
= $2720
Answer(s): (a) $500; (b) $2720
