Question

A corporate attorney has weekends off and has 30 paid vacation days per year, including holidays that fall on weekdays. If his salary is $119,600 per year, what is his pay per workday?

Answer 1

Answer: The corporate attorney's pay per workday is $517.75

To determine pay per workday we need to find the number of workdays per year.

We need to find number of workdays, we need to find number of holidays

No. of paid vacation days     30

No. of weekends per year    52

No. of days per weekend      02

No. of weekend holidays       $104= (52*2)$

Total number of holidays per year : $104 +30 = 134$

No. of days per year           :  365

So,

$Number of working days per year = No. of days in a year - No. of holidays$

$Number of working days per year = 365 - 134$

$Number of working days per year = 231$

Total salary per year : $119,600

Salary per working day: $\frac{119600}{231} = 517.75$
