A corporate attorney has weekends off and has 30 paid vacation days per year, including holidays that fall on weekdays. If his salary is $119,600 per year, what is his pay per workday? A. $520B. $535C. $460D. $525

Question
Answer:
It's slightly ambiguous because the year isn't an even number of weeks, so sometimes that extra day falls on a weekend and sometimes on a weekday.  We'll assume a weekend; that makes the numbers come out nice.Total working days, 52 five day weeks minus 30 days vacation[tex]d = 52 \times 5 - 30 = 230[/tex]So his daily rate is[tex]119600/230 = 520[/tex]  dollars per dayAnswer: AIt's closer to $518 when we count the extra day as a weekday.
