Question

Lila hired a chainsaw for a week.

Using the information below, work out how much Lila paid for the chainsaw.

Hire Fees
Monday to Friday - $37 a day
Saturday and Sunday - $42 a day

Answer 1

First, if she used it Monday to Friday, that’s 5 days. 5 x 37 = $185
Secondly, if she used the chainsaw on Saturday and Sunday too, and if 2 x $42 = $84, then she would have paid $84 for the Saturday and Sunday in which she used the chainsaw.

Add up both of cost of the days she used the chainsaw and you get a total of $269
I hope this helped :)

Answer 2

She payed $269 for the chainsaw :)
