Question

will works 7 hours a day, 6 days a week. he is paid 9.20 an hour. he shares is wages with his mum in the ratio will:mum 5:2

Answer 1

Will earns 7×9.20=64.40 a day, or 6×64.40=386.40 a week. Split this amount into 7 parts: 55.20 (which is also the same as 6×9.20). 5 parts go to Will and 2 go to his mum: Will gets 276 and mum gets 110.40.

Answer 2

Answer:

7 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Will works 7 hours a day, 6 days a week. So total number of hours worked by Will is,

$=7\times 6=42$ hours

He earns £9.20 an hour, so total money earned in a week by Will will be,

$=42\times 9.20=\£386.4$

As he shares with his mother in a ration of 5:2, so he gets 2 parts out of 7 parts. (as 5+2=7)

So the actual amount saved by Will is,

$=386.4\times \dfrac{5}{7}=\£276$

The price of the car is £1932, so the number of week that Will will take is,

$=\dfrac{1932}{276}=7$
