B) $126,000
C) $11,400
D) $9,000

Answer 1

Answer:

The total labour's cost for the city was B) $ 126,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

Total number of workers hired = 100 workers

Total number of days workers works = 14 days

Each worker was paid per day = $ 90

Finding the one day wages of 100 workers:

1 worker's 1 day wages = $ 90

∴ 100 workers' 1 day wages = $ 90 × 100

∴ 100 workers' 1 day wages = $ 9,000

Finding the fourteen days wages of 100 workers:

100 workers' 1 day wages = $ 9,000

∴ 100 workers' 14 days wages = $ 9,000 × 14

∴ 100 workers' 14 days wages = $ 126,000

Answer 2

To Find:-

• What was the total labor cost for the city?

Given:-

• The city of Trenton hired a crew of 100 workers to clean up the streets of the city.
• The crew worked for 14 days.
• Each worker was paid at a rate of $90 per day.

Solution:-

According to the Question:-

There were 100 works then each worker paid $ 90 for 14 days then find 14 days wages of 100 workers.

So,

First we have to find the wages for 1 day:-

Each worker gets $ 90 then

$\tt\implies \: 100 \: workers \: get \: 1 \: day \: wages = 90 \times 100$

∴ $\tt \: 100 \: workers \: get \: \ 9000 \: per \: day$

Then,

Then for 14 days = ?

$\tt\implies \: 9000 \times 14$

$\tt\implies \: \ 126000$
