Ryan earns $50 per day. He receives and extra $50 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 35 days?
(a)
Amount that Ryan earns after working for 6 days
= 50 x 6 + 50
= 300 + 50
= $350
(b)
Number of sets of 6 days in 35 days
= 35 ÷ 6
= 5 r 5
Amount that Ryan earns for working 5 sets of 6 days
= 5 x 350
= $1750
Amount that Ryan earns after working 5 days
= 5 x 50
= $250
Total amount that Ryan earns after working for 35 days
= 1750 + 250
= $2000
Answer(s): (a) $350; (b) $2000
