Question

Chris is 5 years olds he makes 4 dollars for doing the dishes on school days and gets paid every Friday

How much will Chris have inna month?

Answer 1

$80

Explanation:

We know the following information:

• there are 5 school days in 1 week
• Chris makes $4 each school day

We are solving for how much money Chris will make in a month.

First, we can solve for how much money Chris makes in 1 week:

`\frac{\$4}{1\text{ school day}} * \frac{5\text{ school days}}{1\text{ week}} = \frac{\$20}{1\text{ week}}`

So, Chris makes $20 in 1 week.

Next, we can solve for how much money Chris will make in a month using our knowledge of how long a month is. Over the course of 1 month on the Gregorian Calendar (excluding the month of February), there are 4 weeks. Therefore, we can compute how much money he makes in a month with the following equation:

`\frac{\$20}{1\text{ week}} * \frac{4\text{ weeks}}{1\text{ month}} = \boxed{\frac{\$80}{1\text{ month}}}`

So, Chris will make $80 in a month.
