- If the total salary of 5 men for 10 days is $500 then how many men will be able to earn a sum of $1000 in 4 days? (click for answer)
$500 is the total salary for 5 men working for 10 days
$500/5 is the total salary of 1 man working for 10 days
$500/5 x 1/10 is the total salary for 1 man for 1 day.
$10 is the total salary of 1 man for 1 day.

$10 is the salary of 1 day for = 1 man
$40 is the salary of 4 days for = 1 man
$1000 is the salary of 4 days for = 1000 / 40
