A street performer earns 40% of all his daily earnings at the barclays center subway station.He earns about $60 at that station. Assuming he works everyday and earns the same amount, how much does he earn in two weeks?

Respuesta :

Answer:

He earns $2,100 in two weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that this street performers earn $60 per day at the Barclays center subway station, and that this earning represents 40% (or a proportion of 0.4) of his daily earnings. We can calculate his daily earnings as:

[tex]0.4D=\$\,60\\\\D=\dfrac{\$\,60}{0.4}=\$\,150[/tex]

If the daily earnings are $150, the earnings in 2 weeks (14 days) will be:

[tex]W=14\cdot\$\,150=\$\,2100[/tex]
