Neave earns $40 per day. He receives and extra $70 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 Neave earns after working for 5 days
= 40 x 5 + 70
= 200 + 70
= $270
(b)
Number of sets of 5 days in 22 days
= 22 ÷ 5
= 4 r 2
Amount that Neave earns for working 4 sets of 5 days
= 4 x 270
= $1080
Amount that Neave earns after working 2 days
= 2 x 40
= $80
Total amount that Neave earns after working for 22 days
= 1080 + 80
= $1160
Answer(s): (a) $270; (b) $1160
