Question

Usha had a balance of -$84. She worked for 6 days and put half the money in the bank. Now she had a balanve of -$45. How much does Usha get paid every day for newspaper delivery?

Answer 1

Per day earning is $1.

Explanation:

Initial balance that Usha had = $84

Number of working days = 6 days

Total money after working 6 days = $45 × 2 = $90

Since we know that the initial amount is $84 and the final amount is $90. Thus the amount earned by working 6 days is 90 – 84 = $6.

Now we have to calculate the per day earning. Therefore, just divide the earning with number of days.

Per day earning = $6 / 6 = $1
