Question

9. Henry Scott is a defense attorney. He is paid a salary of $87,944,00 per year. Henry is paid on the 15 of

every month. If today is June 20, how much money has Henry earned so for this year?

Answer 1

Answer: 43,972,00

Step-by-step explanation: To start we know how much he makes, how many Montses are in the year, and what month it is. Because it is the sixth month (which is half of 12) we only have to divide by two to get our answer. The date does not matter since it is after June 15th meaning he has already been paid. I hope this was of assistance!

Answer 2

Henry has earned so for this year:

• $43,972,00

Explanation:

To calculate the amount Henry has earned so far, you must remember that since the year is 12 months old, the amount of the annual payment must be divided into 12 to obtain his monthly payment:

• Monthly payment = $ 87,944.00 / 12
• Monthly payment = $ 7328,666667

Since the payments are every 15 and the date of the affirmation is June 20, it is assumed that six months of salary have already been paid (since June is the sixth month of the year), therefore the monthly payment is multiplied by 6:

• Payment throughout the year = $ 7,328,666667 * 6
• Payment throughout the year = $ 43,972.00
