Seth earns $50 per day. He receives and extra $55 for every 4 days of work.
- How much will he earn altogether after working for 4 days?
- How much will he earn altogether after working for 22 days?
(a)
Amount that Seth earns after working for 4 days
= 50 x 4 + 55
= 200 + 55
= $255
(b)
Number of sets of 4 days in 22 days
= 22 ÷ 4
= 5 r 2
Amount that Seth earns for working 5 sets of 4 days
= 5 x 255
= $1275
Amount that Seth earns after working 2 days
= 2 x 50
= $100
Total amount that Seth earns after working for 22 days
= 1275 + 100
= $1375
Answer(s): (a) $255; (b) $1375
