Question

Answer 1

Answer:

As per the statement:

On Monday, she earned $21.60.

It is also given that:

Each day, her daily earnings increase by $1.50.

in 1 day = increases by $1.50

then;

in 3 days=increased by $3 \times 1.50 = \ 4.50$

We have to find how much will Mary earn on Thursday of the same week.

She earn on Thursday of the same week = $21.60 + $4.50 = $26.10

Therefore, $26.10 much will Mary earn on Thursday of the same week.

on Thursday of the same week?


First of all, you gotta highlight the key things in the question so you know what to do :). 
Secondly, you add both numbers together because it says HOW MUCH so, $1.50 + $21.60 = $23.1 or $23.00.

Therefore, Mary earns $23.00 on Thursday of the same week !! ^_^

Hope this helps !! and have a great and awesome day buddy !! ^_~
