Ted freeman mows lawns six months out of the year. His salary is $425 per week. What is teds annual salary

Answer 1

There are 6 months in a year and 4 weeks in each month. 6 x 4 = 24. 24 x 425 = 10,200

Therefore, Ted’s annual salary is $10,200.

Hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

Ted's annual salary is $10200

Explanation:

It is assumed that each month has 4 weeks and one year has 12 months.

If one multiplies the total months in a year by the weeks that each month has, the total of weeks in a year is obtained.

`weeks\, in\, a \, year = (weeks\, in\, a\, month)* (months\, in\, a\, year)`

Weeks in a year

`weeks\, in\, a \, year = weeks\, in\, 12 \, months = (4)* (12)=48`

It means that one year has 48 weeks.

Weeks in six months

Now, the problem says that Ted Freeman just works six months of the 12 months that a year has. So, the previous procedure is repeated but with 6 months in a year.

`weeks\, in\, 6 \, months = (4)* (6) = 24`

The obtained result means that Ted Freeman works just 24 weeks in the entire year.

Salary

Now, for every week Ted works, he earns $425.

So, if he works 24 weeks, one must multiply
`425* 24` to get the whole money he receives which is
`425* 24 = $10200`

So, Ted's annual salary is $10200
