Problema Solution

Arturo Muina is the captain of a charter fishing boat. He is paid a salary of $140 per day. He also averages tips amounting to 12% of a $475 daily charter rate. Last month during a fishing tournament, Arturo worked 22 days. What were his total gross earnings for the month?

Answer provided by our tutors

Earning per day = 140 + 12% of 475

                      = 140 + (12/100)*475

                      = 140 + 57 = 197

Gross earnings for 22 days = 22 * 197 = 4334
