Solution

The problem can be solved by setting up a simple equation.

First, we know that Aldrin was supposed to earn 300for7weeksofwork.Thismeansthateachweekofworkisworth300 for 7 weeks of work. This means that each week of work is worth 300/7 = $42.86 approximately.

However, Aldrin only worked for 4 weeks and earned 30.So,thevalueoftheworkhedidis4weeks30. So, the value of the work he did is 4 weeks * 42.86/week = $171.44 approximately.

Since Aldrin earned $30 in cash, the value of the holiday must be the difference between the value of the work he did and the cash he earned.

So, the value of the holiday is 171.44171.44 - 30 = $141.44 approximately.

However, this value is not among the choices given. Therefore, the data is insufficient to answer the question.
