Carl earns $70 per day. He receives and extra $70 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 38 days?
(a)
Amount that Carl earns after working for 5 days
= 70 x 5 + 70
= 350 + 70
= $420
(b)
Number of sets of 5 days in 38 days
= 38 ÷ 5
= 7 r 3
Amount that Carl earns for working 7 sets of 5 days
= 7 x 420
= $2940
Amount that Carl earns after working 3 days
= 3 x 70
= $210
Total amount that Carl earns after working for 38 days
= 2940 + 210
= $3150
Answer(s): (a) $420; (b) $3150
