Question

Jerry makes $40,000 a year working at a nearby factory. He gets two weeks paid vacation per year, plus five other paid holidays.

He wants to figure out his per-diem (daily) pay, so he divides 40,000 by 365, which yields $109.59. Is this the correct answer?
A) Yes.
B) No; he should have subtracted 15 from 365 first.
C) No; he should have subtracted the weekend days first.
Eliminate
D) No; he should have subtracted 15 and added 10 before dividing.

Answer 1

i believe your answer would be a because you wouldnt subtract the the other things due to the fact that they are paid therefore they combine together to form his total of $40,000.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. No; he should have subtracted the weekend days first.

Explanation:

I had the same problem on an assessment and with the process of elimination I got the answer C.
