Archie earns $60 per day. He receives and extra $65 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 65 days?
(a)
Amount that Archie earns after working for 6 days
= 60 x 6 + 65
= 360 + 65
= $425
(b)
Number of sets of 6 days in 65 days
= 65 ÷ 6
= 10 r 5
Amount that Archie earns for working 10 sets of 6 days
= 10 x 425
= $4250
Amount that Archie earns after working 5 days
= 5 x 60
= $300
Total amount that Archie earns after working for 65 days
= 4250 + 300
= $4550
Answer(s): (a) $425; (b) $4550
