Gabriel earns $80 per day. He receives and extra $75 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 34 days?
(a)
Amount that Gabriel earns after working for 5 days
= 80 x 5 + 75
= 400 + 75
= $475
(b)
Number of sets of 5 days in 34 days
= 34 ÷ 5
= 6 r 4
Amount that Gabriel earns for working 6 sets of 5 days
= 6 x 475
= $2850
Amount that Gabriel earns after working 4 days
= 4 x 80
= $320
Total amount that Gabriel earns after working for 34 days
= 2850 + 320
= $3170
Answer(s): (a) $475; (b) $3170
