Kimberly worked there 10 hours a day for 19 days in December. How much did the hotel pay her?
Amount that the hotel paid Kimberly for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.60
= $48
Duration that Kimberly worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the hotel paid Kimberly for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 12
= $60
Amount that the hotel paid Kimberly per day
= 48 + 60
= $108
Amount that the hotel paid Kimberly for 19 days
= 19 x 108
= $2052
Answer(s): $2052
