Question

5 Jack works as a part-time waiter. He earns $60 per weekday and $98 per day on weekends. (a) On a particular week, he works from Tuesday to Sunday. How much was he paid for that week? (b) Find his average wage rate per day.​

Answer 1

(a) 4 days on weekday he worked = 4x60
2 days on weekends = 2x98
total = 436
(b) work for 1 week = 5x60+2x98
= 496
per day = 496 divide by 7
= 70.85714286
round off to nearest cent
= 70.86
