Question

Ben worked for 14 consecutive days, earning an average wage of $230 per day as an independent contractor. During the first 8 days, Ben averaged $220 per day and his average wage for the next 5 days was $200. How much did he earn on the last day?

Answer 1

460

Explanation:

8x220=1760

5x200=1000

(2760+x)/14=230

2760+x=230x14

2760+x=3220

x=3220-2760

x=460
