total area of wall to plaster: 2650 m^2   work of each worker: ((2650)/(50))=73 m^2   each worker earns: 73×12=876 cedis

$${total}\:{area}\:{of}\:{wall}\:{to}\:{plaster}:\:\mathrm{2650}\:{m}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${work}\:{of}\:{each}\:{worker}:\:\frac{\mathrm{2650}}{\mathrm{50}}=\mathrm{73}\:{m}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${each}\:{worker}\:{earns}:\:\mathrm{73}×\mathrm{12}=\mathrm{876}\:{cedis} \\ $$
