@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

make a guess on what you need to do here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

42 / 12 ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that would be less than 42 right ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

how can a monthly pay be less than the daily pay ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

make another guess, im sure you will be right this time :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i really do not know sir @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

42 per day how much he will earn in 2 days ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

21

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

think a bit

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

he should make more money by working more days

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

not the opposite

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

42 today 42 tomorrow ------------ 2*42 in two days

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the pattern continues... 20*42 in 20 days

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg i thought it was the opposite

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

haha i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i have to multiply 2 x 42 ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

how many days is he working ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so multiply that by the daily pay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20 x 42?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 840 sir

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

looks good :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
