Dylan earns $80 per day. He receives and extra $30 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 22 days?
(a)
Amount that Dylan earns after working for 5 days
= 80 x 5 + 30
= 400 + 30
= $430
(b)
Number of sets of 5 days in 22 days
= 22 ÷ 5
= 4 r 2
Amount that Dylan earns for working 4 sets of 5 days
= 4 x 430
= $1720
Amount that Dylan earns after working 2 days
= 2 x 80
= $160
Total amount that Dylan earns after working for 22 days
= 1720 + 160
= $1880
Answer(s): (a) $430; (b) $1880
