Question

suppose that a certain basketball athlete earned $23,000,000 to play 80 games, each last 48 min. how much did the athlete earn per game, Assuming that the athlete played every min of every game how much did he earn per min, Assuming that the athlete played 2/3 of every game, how much did he earn per min, suppose that, averaged over a year, the athlete practiced or trained 35 hours for evey game and then played every min. including this training time, what was his hourly salary.

Answer 1

a. The athlete earned ​$

287,500 per game.

b. The athlete earned ​$

5989 per minute played if he played the entire game for every game.

​(Round to the nearest dollar per minute as​ needed.)

Answer 2

He earns 23 000 000 per 80 games for 48min
Per game he earns
$23000000 \div 8 0 = 782500$
If he earns 782 500 per game he earns 5 989,5833 per minute

$782500 \div 48 = 5989.5833$
If he played 2/3 of the time he played 32min which means he earned...

$782500 \div 32 = 24453.125$
So he trained 35hours for a 48min match
Together that is 35.8hours

But I dont think this really matters here you just have to multiply 24453.125 with 60

And you get his hourly salary which is 1 467 187.5
