Dylan earns $50 per day. He receives and extra $60 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 63 days?
(a)
Amount that Dylan earns after working for 6 days
= 50 x 6 + 60
= 300 + 60
= $360
(b)
Number of sets of 6 days in 63 days
= 63 ÷ 6
= 10 r 3
Amount that Dylan earns for working 10 sets of 6 days
= 10 x 360
= $3600
Amount that Dylan earns after working 3 days
= 3 x 50
= $150
Total amount that Dylan earns after working for 63 days
= 3600 + 150
= $3750
Answer(s): (a) $360; (b) $3750
