Question

Sarah works for 8 hours a day and earns R50 per hour. How much does she earn in 5 days?

Answer 1

To calculate how much Sarah earns in 5 days, you can follow these steps:

1. Calculate her daily earnings:
\[
\text{Daily Earnings} = \text{Hourly Rate} \times \text{Hours Worked Per Day}
\]
\[
\text{Daily Earnings} = R50 \times 8 = R400
\]

2. Calculate her earnings for 5 days:
\[
\text{Earnings for 5 Days} = \text{Daily Earnings} \times 5
\]
\[
\text{Earnings for 5 Days} = R400 \times 5 = R2000
\]

Therefore, Sarah earns R2000 in 5 days.
