Perry earns $60 per day. He receives and extra $70 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 35 days?
(a)
Amount that Perry earns after working for 6 days
= 60 x 6 + 70
= 360 + 70
= $430
(b)
Number of sets of 6 days in 35 days
= 35 ÷ 6
= 5 r 5
Amount that Perry earns for working 5 sets of 6 days
= 5 x 430
= $2150
Amount that Perry earns after working 5 days
= 5 x 60
= $300
Total amount that Perry earns after working for 35 days
= 2150 + 300
= $2450
Answer(s): (a) $430; (b) $2450
