Rate |
First 6 hours |
$7.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$15 per hour |
Wendy worked there 10 hours a day for 18 days in April. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Wendy for the first 6 hours
= 6 x 7.50
= $45
Duration that Wendy worked after the first 6 hours
= 10 - 6
= 4 h
Amount that the cafe paid Wendy for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 15
= $60
Amount that the cafe paid Wendy per day
= 45 + 60
= $105
Amount that the cafe paid Wendy for 18 days
= 18 x 105
= $1890
Answer(s): $1890
