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 day

Answer: A

It's closer to $518 when we count the extra day as a weekday.



Answer: A: 520

There are 260 workdays in a year (Excluding weekends)

Subtract 30 from 260 to get 230 since the attorney doesn't work those days.

Then, divide the salary, $119,600 by 230 in order to get $520, his pay per day.
