Question

Charger pays its employees $2,420 every Friday for a 5-day work week. If this year December 31 falls on a Wednesday, what is the total amount paid to an employee who started working on the first Monday of that December?

a) $2,420
b) $3,030
c) $3,640
d) $4,250

Answer 1

The total amount paid to an employee who started working on the first Monday of December is $9,680.

Step-by-step explanation:

The employee who started working on the first Monday of December will work for a total of 22 days (including December 31). Since Charger pays $2,420 every Friday for a 5-day work week, the employee will receive 4 paydays in December.

So, the total amount paid to the employee is $2,420 x 4 = $9,680.

The correct answer is d) $4,250.
