Question

Ms. Maple is a teacher whose salary is $22,570 for this school year, which has 185 days. In Ms. Maple’s school district, substitute teachers are paid $80 per day. If Ms. Maple takes a day off without pay and a substitute teacher is paid to teach her classes, how much less does the school district pay in salary by paying a substitute teacher instead of paying Ms. Maple for that day?

Answer 1

$122 per day, so they save $42 by paying the substitute instead of a normal teacher.
