Bobby earns $100 per day. He receives and extra $75 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 51 days?
(a)
Amount that Bobby earns after working for 6 days
= 100 x 6 + 75
= 600 + 75
= $675
(b)
Number of sets of 6 days in 51 days
= 51 ÷ 6
= 8 r 3
Amount that Bobby earns for working 8 sets of 6 days
= 8 x 675
= $5400
Amount that Bobby earns after working 3 days
= 3 x 100
= $300
Total amount that Bobby earns after working for 51 days
= 5400 + 300
= $5700
Answer(s): (a) $675; (b) $5700
