Zeph earns $80 per day. He receives and extra $65 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 29 days?
(a)
Amount that Zeph earns after working for 6 days
= 80 x 6 + 65
= 480 + 65
= $545
(b)
Number of sets of 6 days in 29 days
= 29 ÷ 6
= 4 r 5
Amount that Zeph earns for working 4 sets of 6 days
= 4 x 545
= $2180
Amount that Zeph earns after working 5 days
= 5 x 80
= $400
Total amount that Zeph earns after working for 29 days
= 2180 + 400
= $2580
Answer(s): (a) $545; (b) $2580
