Gabriel earns $90 per day. He receives and extra $25 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 28 days?
(a)
Amount that Gabriel earns after working for 5 days
= 90 x 5 + 25
= 450 + 25
= $475
(b)
Number of sets of 5 days in 28 days
= 28 ÷ 5
= 5 r 3
Amount that Gabriel earns for working 5 sets of 5 days
= 5 x 475
= $2375
Amount that Gabriel earns after working 3 days
= 3 x 90
= $270
Total amount that Gabriel earns after working for 28 days
= 2375 + 270
= $2645
Answer(s): (a) $475; (b) $2645
