Andy earns $60 per day. He receives and extra $70 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 27 days?
(a)
Amount that Andy earns after working for 4 days
= 60 x 4 + 70
= 240 + 70
= $310
(b)
Number of sets of 4 days in 27 days
= 27 ÷ 4
= 6 r 3
Amount that Andy earns for working 6 sets of 4 days
= 6 x 310
= $1860
Amount that Andy earns after working 3 days
= 3 x 60
= $180
Total amount that Andy earns after working for 27 days
= 1860 + 180
= $2040
Answer(s): (a) $310; (b) $2040
