A writer was paid $20,000 for a 4,000- word article. How many is that per word

1 answer

To find out the payment per word, you can divide the total payment by the number of words in the article.

Payment per word = Total payment / Number of words in the article

Given that the total payment is $20,000 and the number of words in the article is 4,000, you can substitute these values in the formula to find the payment per word.

Payment per word = 20,000 / 4,000

Simplifying the division gives us:

Payment per word = $5

Therefore, the writer was paid $5 per word for the article.
