Vaidev earns $90 per day. He receives and extra $60 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 40 days?
(a)
Amount that Vaidev earns after working for 6 days
= 90 x 6 + 60
= 540 + 60
= $600
(b)
Number of sets of 6 days in 40 days
= 40 ÷ 6
= 6 r 4
Amount that Vaidev earns for working 6 sets of 6 days
= 6 x 600
= $3600
Amount that Vaidev earns after working 4 days
= 4 x 90
= $360
Total amount that Vaidev earns after working for 40 days
= 3600 + 360
= $3960
Answer(s): (a) $600; (b) $3960
