Answer 1

Answer:

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
