Earnings for a 4 weeks on, 4 weeks off schedule depend on the shift pay structure. If the brother earns $1,400 per shift, clarification is needed on what constitutes a "shift" and whether he follows the same schedule. The calculation of $182,000 assumes a standard 5-day work week over 26 weeks, which may not apply if shifts are defined differently. The discussion raises questions about the actual hourly rate, suggesting that $1,400 for a single shift may not align with typical hourly wages. Clear definitions of work hours and pay are essential for accurate earnings estimates.

If I work 4 weeks on and 4 weeks off, how much will I earn? My brother will be earning 1400 every shift, so would my brother earn $1,400 per shift x 5 days per week x 26 weeks per year = $182,000?

Will you be paid the same shift salary as your brother? Does your brother follow the 4 week on/off schedule, also?

\$1400 per shift? Really?
 
What do you mean by a "shift"? I would normally interpret a "shift" to be a standard 8 hour day but \$1400 seems a bit much for 8 hours! (\$175 an hour!)

If a "shift" is the "four weeks on" then that would be 4(7)(8)= 224 hours. \$1400/224= \$6.25 per hour, a bit more reasonable.

But it is very confusing for you to ask about your earnings but only tell us about your brother's salary!
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
