Solution

Step 1: Determine the total number of sinks the plumber will install.

The plumber is planning to install 20% of 6,000 sinks. To find this, multiply 6,000 by 20% (or 0.20 in decimal form):

6,000 * 0.20 = 1,200 sinks

Step 2: Determine how many sinks the plumber will install each day.

The plumber plans to divide his work evenly over four days. To find this, divide the total number of sinks (1,200) by the number of days (4):

1,200 / 4 = 300 sinks

So, the plumber will install 300 sinks each day.
