Glen earns $70 per day. He receives and extra $35 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 Glen earns after working for 5 days
= 70 x 5 + 35
= 350 + 35
= $385
(b)
Number of sets of 5 days in 34 days
= 34 ÷ 5
= 6 r 4
Amount that Glen earns for working 6 sets of 5 days
= 6 x 385
= $2310
Amount that Glen earns after working 4 days
= 4 x 70
= $280
Total amount that Glen earns after working for 34 days
= 2310 + 280
= $2590
Answer(s): (a) $385; (b) $2590
