Question

Nora got an allowance of 50¢ each weekday and 75¢ each weekend altogether how much do they get in:

a) 1 week

b) 3 school days

c) 12 days off from school

d) 4 weeks

e) Sunday, Tuesday, Monday

Answer 1

a) > since it is 50c per weekday and 75c each weekend assuming it allows for the 2 days each saturday/sunday.
50c * 5 = $2.50 since there are 5 days in weekdays
75c * 2 = $1.50 since there are 2 days in the weekend
Add $2.50 and $1.50 to get $4.00

b) For 3 school days we know it is a weekday on the school week.
So perform 50c * 3 which gives us $1.50

c) 12 days off from school is 10 weekdays and 1 weekend or 2 days of 75c
So now just do 50c * 10 which is $5.00 and 75c * 2 which is $1.50
Add $5.00 and $1.50 and we get $6.50

d) 4 weeks = 20 weekdays since 5 *4 = 20 and 8 days in each weekend since 2 * 4 = 8
Now that we have the amount of weekdays and weekend days we can multiply.
50c * 20 = $10.00
75c * 4 = $3.00
Add $10.00 and $3.00 to get $13.00 for 4 weeks.

e) We have 1 day of the weekend and 2 weekdays here.
50c * 2 = $1.00
75c * 1 = 75c
$1.00 + 75c = $1.75 in those 3 days listed.

Add all these together to get your total value.
$4.00 + $1.50 + $6.50 + $13.00 + $1.75 = $26.75
