Answer :

Soham
Mr. Wilk's salary for 180 days = $33,660
Mr. Wilk's salary for 1 day = $?
By unitary method:
             Days                            Salary
               180                           $33,660
                1                                  ?
By cross-multiplication:
1*33660/180
33660/180 = $187
Mr. Wilk's salary per day = $187
Substitute teacher's salary per day = $85
Difference in salary  = 187-85
                              =  $102
The school district pays $102 less to the substitute teacher.
