Wendy worked there 10 hours a day for 16 days in September. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Wendy for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 10.50
= $42
Duration that Wendy worked after the first 4 hours
= 10 - 4
= 6 h
Amount that the boutique paid Wendy for the next 6 hours
= 6 x 14
= $84
Amount that the boutique paid Wendy per day
= 42 + 84
= $126
Amount that the boutique paid Wendy for 16 days
= 16 x 126
= $2016
Answer(s): $2016
