Question

A corporate attorney has weekends off and has 30 paid vacation days per year, including holidays that fall on weekdays. If his salary is $119,600 per year, what is his pay per workday?
A.) $520


B.) $535


C.) $460


D.) $525

Answer 1

It's slightly ambiguous because the year isn't an even number of weeks, so sometimes that extra day falls on a weekend and sometimes on a weekday.  We'll assume a weekend; that makes the numbers come out nice.

Total working days, 52 five day weeks minus 30 days vacation

$d = 52 \times 5 - 30 = 230$

So his daily rate is

$119600/230 = 520$  dollars per day

Answer: A

It's closer to $518 when we count the extra day as a weekday.
