Ethan earns $90 per day. He receives and extra $25 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 27 days?
(a)
Amount that Ethan earns after working for 4 days
= 90 x 4 + 25
= 360 + 25
= $385
(b)
Number of sets of 4 days in 27 days
= 27 ÷ 4
= 6 r 3
Amount that Ethan earns for working 6 sets of 4 days
= 6 x 385
= $2310
Amount that Ethan earns after working 3 days
= 3 x 90
= $270
Total amount that Ethan earns after working for 27 days
= 2310 + 270
= $2580
Answer(s): (a) $385; (b) $2580
