Archie earns $120 per day. He receives and extra $40 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 49 days?
(a)
Amount that Archie earns after working for 5 days
= 120 x 5 + 40
= 600 + 40
= $640
(b)
Number of sets of 5 days in 49 days
= 49 ÷ 5
= 9 r 4
Amount that Archie earns for working 9 sets of 5 days
= 9 x 640
= $5760
Amount that Archie earns after working 4 days
= 4 x 120
= $480
Total amount that Archie earns after working for 49 days
= 5760 + 480
= $6240
Answer(s): (a) $640; (b) $6240
