Trevor Sherr is paid $1.20 for each hand-painted
dish he produces. He is not paid for dishes that
are not acceptable. On Monday, he painted 56
dishes; on Tuesday, he painted 44 dishes. For
the two days 6 dishes contained slight errors
and were unacceptable. What gross pay did
Trevor earn for the two days?
First, add 56 and 44, which is 100. Then because 6 of the dishes contained errors, he didn't sell them, so subtract 6 from 100. You will get 94. Then you multiply 94 by 1.20 which would give you a result of $112.80.
