Question 907760
truck = 13000
material for all 3 jobs = 3000
each job takes 5 days for a total of 15 days
workers get paid 125 dollars a day.


each worker gets 125 a day.
each job requires 5 days so he pays each worker 625 per job.
he has them work on 3 jobs, so he pays each worker 1875 for all 3 jobs.
he has 2 workers so he pays out 3750 in total to the workers for all 3 jobs.


his total cost is:


$13,000 for the truck
$3,000 for the material
$3,750 for the workers.


total cost for the 3 jobs is $19,750.


divide that by 3 jobs and you get that he has to charge $6,583.33 for each job.


He'll be off by a penny.


3*6583.33 = $19,749.99


If he wants to make it down to the last penny, then he needs to charge $6,583.34 for one of the jobs and $6,583.33 for the other two jobs.


Then he'll be right on.
