Gabriel earns $80 per day. He receives and extra $25 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 24 days?
(a)
Amount that Gabriel earns after working for 5 days
= 80 x 5 + 25
= 400 + 25
= $425
(b)
Number of sets of 5 days in 24 days
= 24 ÷ 5
= 4 r 4
Amount that Gabriel earns for working 4 sets of 5 days
= 4 x 425
= $1700
Amount that Gabriel earns after working 4 days
= 4 x 80
= $320
Total amount that Gabriel earns after working for 24 days
= 1700 + 320
= $2020
Answer(s): (a) $425; (b) $2020
