Six people working for 5 days were paid a total of sh 6000. How much more money could the same number of people be paid for 12 days?

12/5 the time, so 12/5 the money.

as above

1200 (12)

= 14400

To find out how much more money the same number of people could be paid for 12 days, we need to first calculate the amount of money earned per day by the 6 people.

Given:
Total payment = sh 6000
Number of people = 6
Number of days = 5

To find the daily payment per person, we divide the total payment by the number of people multiplied by the number of days:
Daily payment per person = Total payment / (Number of people * Number of days)

Daily payment per person = sh 6000 / (6 * 5) = sh 200

Now, we can calculate the total payment for 12 days with the same number of people:
Total payment for 12 days = Daily payment per person * (Number of people * Number of days)

Total payment for 12 days = sh 200 * (6 * 12) = sh 14400

Therefore, the same number of people could be paid sh 14400 for 12 days, which is sh 8400 more than they were paid for 5 days.
