By Karaka Syndicate - Year 5-6


Zarin and Caleb have agreed to work for their mum’s over the holidays.  They
will get paid differently though.  Zarin will get $10 for the first day he
works and two more dollars for every day he works after that.  Caleb on the
other hand will get $1 for the first day he works but for each day he works
from then on his pay will be doubled.  Who would you rather be and why?

I would rather be Caleb because Zarin has more money than Caleb in 5 days but after 10 days Caleb has earned more money.

Caleb, because even though Zarin has more money after 5 days Caleb earns more in 10 days.

Caleb because he gets more money for doing 10 days of work than what Zarin would.

I would rather be Caleb because if Caleb works for 10 days he gets more money than Zarin does

I'd rather be Caleb because even though Zarin gets more money in 5 day, Caleb gets more money over 10 days.
