Answer 2

It's slightly ambiguous because the year isn't an even number of weeks, so sometimes that extra day falls on a weekend and sometimes on a weekday. We'll assume a weekend; that makes the numbers come out nice.

Total working days, 52 five day weeks minus 30 days vacation

`d = 52 * 5 - 30 = 230`

So his daily rate is

`119600/230 = 520` dollars per day

Answer: A

It's closer to $518 when we count the extra day as a weekday.
