A company employs 70 people. 32 employees receive ₹1,258 a day and the rest receive ₹2,560 a day. If there are 6 working days in a week, represent the total payment in a week using an expression.

• A. $6\left[\right(32\times 1258)+(38\times 2560\left)\right]$
• B. $6\times 70\times 12158\times 2560$
• C. $6\times (70-32)+1258$
• D. $6\times \left(38\right)\times 2560$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$6\left[\right(32\times 1258)+(38\times 2560\left)\right]$

There are 70 employees, among them 32 receive ₹1,258 a day.

$\therefore$ Total payment of 32 people
= $32\times 1258$

Rest receive ₹2,560 a day.

Rest employees = $70-32=38$

Payment of the remaining employees
= $38\times 2560$

$\therefore$ Total payment
= $38\times 2560$ + $32\times 1258$

There are 6 working days in a week.

$\therefore$ The total sum in an expression can be written as,
$6\left[\right(32\times 1258)+(38\times 2560\left)\right]$
