Oliver earns $120 per day. He receives and extra $45 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 65 days?
(a)
Amount that Oliver earns after working for 6 days
= 120 x 6 + 45
= 720 + 45
= $765
(b)
Number of sets of 6 days in 65 days
= 65 ÷ 6
= 10 r 5
Amount that Oliver earns for working 10 sets of 6 days
= 10 x 765
= $7650
Amount that Oliver earns after working 5 days
= 5 x 120
= $600
Total amount that Oliver earns after working for 65 days
= 7650 + 600
= $8250
Answer(s): (a) $765; (b) $8250
