Working hours |
Rate |
First 6 hours |
$11.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$15 per hour |
Dana worked there 9 hours a day for 10 days in January. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Dana for the first 6 hours
= 6 x 11.50
= $69
Duration that Dana worked after the first 6 hours
= 9 - 6
= 3 h
Amount that the boutique paid Dana for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 15
= $45
Amount that the boutique paid Dana per day
= 69 + 45
= $114
Amount that the boutique paid Dana for 10 days
= 10 x 114
= $1140
Answer(s): $1140
