sasogeek · Answer

did he park the cars during the weekend?

sasogeek · Answer

maybe his weekend earnings are different from the earnings of parking cars. so depending on whether his weekend earning is the same or different from the earnings from parking cars, we can determine the fraction of the total which the weekend earning was.
