Question

During her summer vacation, Samantha worked at an insurance company for eleven weeks. She earned a total of $3,960. She did not work weekends. How much did she earn per day? Which computation will give Samantha's daily pay?

Answer 1

Answer: She earned $72 per day.

The computation that will give Samantha's daily pay is:
`(\$3960)/(5* 11)`

Explanation:

Samantha did not work on weekends. That means, she worked for 5 days in a week.

Given that, she worked at the insurance company for 11 weeks. So, the total number of her working days
`=(5* 11)= 55`

She earned a total of $3,960.

So, the amount she earned daily
`=(\$3960)/(55)=\$72`
