Daniel earns $40 per day. He receives and extra $45 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 23 days?
(a)
Amount that Daniel earns after working for 5 days
= 40 x 5 + 45
= 200 + 45
= $245
(b)
Number of sets of 5 days in 23 days
= 23 ÷ 5
= 4 r 3
Amount that Daniel earns for working 4 sets of 5 days
= 4 x 245
= $980
Amount that Daniel earns after working 3 days
= 3 x 40
= $120
Total amount that Daniel earns after working for 23 days
= 980 + 120
= $1100
Answer(s): (a) $245; (b) $1100
