Michael earns $70 per day. He receives and extra $70 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 33 days?
(a)
Amount that Michael earns after working for 6 days
= 70 x 6 + 70
= 420 + 70
= $490
(b)
Number of sets of 6 days in 33 days
= 33 ÷ 6
= 5 r 3
Amount that Michael earns for working 5 sets of 6 days
= 5 x 490
= $2450
Amount that Michael earns after working 3 days
= 3 x 70
= $210
Total amount that Michael earns after working for 33 days
= 2450 + 210
= $2660
Answer(s): (a) $490; (b) $2660
