Question

Steven is paid $4.25 for each wodden duck he paints that passes inspection. What is his pay on a day when he paints 38 ducks, 2 of which were rejected?

Answer 1

His pay on that day will be $153

From the question, he paints 38 ducks while two of these failed inspection and were rejected

The number of ducks passing inspection will be 38-2 = 36

This means he will get paid on that day for painting 36 ducks

Since he gets $4.25 for a duck

For 36 ducks, the amount he will get will be = 36 * $4.25 = $153
