Jenson earns $60 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 28 days?
(a)
Amount that Jenson earns after working for 5 days
= 60 x 5 + 40
= 300 + 40
= $340
(b)
Number of sets of 5 days in 28 days
= 28 ÷ 5
= 5 r 3
Amount that Jenson earns for working 5 sets of 5 days
= 5 x 340
= $1700
Amount that Jenson earns after working 3 days
= 3 x 60
= $180
Total amount that Jenson earns after working for 28 days
= 1700 + 180
= $1880
Answer(s): (a) $340; (b) $1880
