Question

Four boys work together painting houses for the summer. for each house they paint they get $256. if the boys work for 4 months of summer and their expenses are $152 per month. how many houses must they paint for each of them to have one thousand dollars at the end of the summer?

Answer 1

01] 
each of the 4 boys must get $1000.So the total income should be $4000. 
Add with this amount their expenses @ $152 per month for 4 months=$608 
That makes required total income
=$4000+$608 
=$4608 
They get $256 for painting each house 
Therefore they must paint 4608/256 or 18 houses.

Answer 2

if per day = 256$
4month days =30+31+30+31
=122
total income in 4 months = 122×256
=31232
then boy expens= 152×4
= 608
