Howard earns $100 per day. He receives and extra $30 for every 3 days of work.
- How much will he earn altogether after working for 3 days?
- How much will he earn altogether after working for 23 days?
(a)
Amount that Howard earns after working for 3 days
= 100 x 3 + 30
= 300 + 30
= $330
(b)
Number of sets of 3 days in 23 days
= 23 ÷ 3
= 7 r 2
Amount that Howard earns for working 7 sets of 3 days
= 7 x 330
= $2310
Amount that Howard earns after working 2 days
= 2 x 100
= $200
Total amount that Howard earns after working for 23 days
= 2310 + 200
= $2510
Answer(s): (a) $330; (b) $2510
