Question

From Monday - Tuesday, Adam earns $122 dollars. If he continues to earn the same amount for the rest of the week, how much will he have at the end?

Answer 1

$437

Explanation:

There are 7 days in a week.

Let's stop at the last even number, the 6th day.

Tuesday is four days away from Sunday, so multiply 122 by 3.

`\mathrm{122}` ×
`3` =
`366`

Finally, we are at the 7th day. There is no 8th day in a week, so divide 122 by 2.

`122` ÷
`2`
`=61`

Now, let's add 61 to 366. We get $437, and that is our answer.

Hope this helps!
