Eric earns $90 per day. He receives and extra $75 for every 3 days of work.
- How much will he earn altogether after working for 3 days?
- How much will he earn altogether after working for 26 days?
(a)
Amount that Eric earns after working for 3 days
= 90 x 3 + 75
= 270 + 75
= $345
(b)
Number of sets of 3 days in 26 days
= 26 ÷ 3
= 8 r 2
Amount that Eric earns for working 8 sets of 3 days
= 8 x 345
= $2760
Amount that Eric earns after working 2 days
= 2 x 90
= $180
Total amount that Eric earns after working for 26 days
= 2760 + 180
= $2940
Answer(s): (a) $345; (b) $2940
