Question

A man is paid $400.00 for each day he works and fined $50.00 for each day he fails to work. After 7 days he is paid $2750.00. How many days has he worked?​

Answer 1

400 multiplied by 7 is 2800.
then the difference between 2800 and 2750 is 50.
so he didn’t work for one day.

he worked 6 days and didn’t 1 day.

Answer 2

6 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

400 x 7 = 2800

2800 - 50 = 2750

He worked 6 days and got fined for failing to work on one of the days which is why he got paid 2750 and not 2800.

Hope this helped!
