Westside Widgets offers an annual salary of $50,000 with 2 weeks of paid vacation and benefits valued at $15,000 can easily mean that the two weeks paid vacation is part of $15000.
40 hours week for a five day week would mean EIGHT hours per day.
Westside Widgets
As two weeks payment is for vacation, actual time one works is 50 week and gets paid $50000+$15000 or $65000
Now, per hour payment = \(\frac{65000}{50*40}\) or $32.5
So compensation per weekday = 32.5*8 = $260
Eastside Enterprises
The value can be found straightway => 37.5*8 = $300

At Westside Widgets, Annual salary = $50,000 with 2 weeks of "paid vacation" and benefits valued at $15,000 annually. Doesn't it look ambiguous for the following reason?:-
Thought process: Annual Salary= 50,000 + 15,000= 65,000. Now, as 2 weeks of "paid vacation" we further calculate and add the monetary value of these 2 weeks, i.e., 10 workdays (or 80 hours), which could further be calculated by calculating per day salary (either 50,000/ total workdays or 65,000/total workdays).
