Question

A cabinetmaker gets paid monthly at a rate of $350 for each cabinet she completes. Last month, she made 6 cabinets and got halfway through a 7th cabinet. How much money was she paid last month?

Answer 1

$2,100 since she only finished 6 cabinets. I hope this helps you!

Answer 2

She was paid $ 2,100 last month.

Explanation:

Given,

Monthly payment rate is $350 for each cabinet,

Thus, we can write,

`\text{ The payment for 1 cabinet}=\$ 350`

Since, 6 cabinet were made,

`\text{ The payment for 6 cabinet}=6* 350 = \$ 2100`

Hence, if she made 6 cabinet last month then she was paid $ 2,100 last month.

Note : We did not consider 7th month payment because she must be paid after completing the month.
