Question

During her summer vacation, Samantha worked at an insurance company for eleven weeks. She earned a total of $3,960. She did not work weekends. How much did she earn per day? Which computation will give Samantha's daily pay?

Answer 1

Answer:   She earned $72 per day.

The computation that will give Samantha's daily pay is:  $\frac{\ 3960}{5\times 11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Samantha did not work on weekends. That means, she worked for 5 days in a week.

Given that, she worked at the insurance company for 11 weeks. So, the total number of her working days $=(5\times 11)= 55$

She earned a total of $3,960.

So, the amount she earned daily $=\frac{\ 3960}{55}=\ 72$
