Calculating the Journalist's Fee

To calculate the journalist's fee for the first article, we can follow the steps provided in the question.

1. Initial Payment on Monday: - The journalist received a payment for the first article on Monday. - The amount received is not explicitly mentioned.

2. Expenditure on Tuesday: - The journalist spent half of the initial payment on Tuesday.

3. Additional Payment on Wednesday: - On Wednesday, the journalist received an additional 2000 rubles for another article. - After this, the journalist had 4000 rubles remaining.

Calculating the Fee for the First Article

To calculate the fee for the first article, we can use the information provided and work backward.

Let's assume the initial payment for the first article is represented by X.

1. Expenditure on Tuesday: - The journalist spent half of the initial payment, which is X/2.

2. Remaining Amount on Wednesday: - After spending X/2 on Tuesday, the journalist had X/2 remaining. - After receiving an additional 2000 rubles on Wednesday, the journalist had 4000 rubles remaining.

Therefore, we can form the equation: X/2 + 2000 = 4000.

Solving for X: - X/2 = 4000 - 2000 - X/2 = 2000 - X = 2000 * 2 - X = 4000

Conclusion

The journalist's fee for the first article was 4000 rubles.
