There r 2 mills who r competing against each other.

Mill 1 gets $140 a week.

Mill 2 gets $15 a day.


Which mill earns more in a regular 365 day year?
As always, show your work

ok i am not good in math but lets give this a try:


mill 1. 140 x 365=51,100 or 140 + 365=505


mill 2. 15 x 7 x 365=38,325 or 15 x 7 + 365=470


i dont know if any of these are right but i would guess mill 2. i am probably wrong.Am I?:confused: :p

i think mill 1 earns more money than mill 2

$15 times 365 = 5,475 per year only

the equation is :

1.) the amount of money divided by 7 (number of days in a week)

140 divided by 7 = 20

2.) 20 times 365 = 7300

so, MILL 1 earns more money
