Zeph earns $110 per day. He receives and extra $65 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 63 days?
(a)
Amount that Zeph earns after working for 6 days
= 110 x 6 + 65
= 660 + 65
= $725
(b)
Number of sets of 6 days in 63 days
= 63 ÷ 6
= 10 r 3
Amount that Zeph earns for working 10 sets of 6 days
= 10 x 725
= $7250
Amount that Zeph earns after working 3 days
= 3 x 110
= $330
Total amount that Zeph earns after working for 63 days
= 7250 + 330
= $7580
Answer(s): (a) $725; (b) $7580
