Question

Two​ part-time employees share one​ full-time job. A girl works Mondays comma Tuesdays​, ​Wednesdays, and​ Fridays, and a boy works Thursdays. The job pays an annual salary of ​$28 comma 652. What annual salary does each employee​ earn?.

Answer 1

The annual salary earned by the girl = $22,921.6

and

the annual salary earned by the boy = $5,730.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The girl works on Mondays , Tuesdays​, ​Wednesdays, and​ Fridays

i.e the girl works 4 days a week

while,

The boy works on Thursdays i.e only 1 day a week

now,

the total working days in a week = 5

thus,

The girl works
`(4)/(5)` times a week

and

boy works
`(1)/(5)` times a week

that also means

The girl works
`(4)/(5)` times annually

and

boy works
`(1)/(5)` times annualy

hence,

the annual salary earned by the girl =
`(4)/(5)` times the annual salary

=
`(4)/(5)*28,652` = $22,921.6

and

the annual salary earned by the boy =
`(1)/(5)` times the annual salary

=
`(1)/(5)*28,652` = $5,730.4
