Yoko worked there 10 hours a day for 19 days in January. How much did the hotel pay her?
Amount that the hotel paid Yoko for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 7.60
= $38
Duration that Yoko worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the hotel paid Yoko for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 15
= $75
Amount that the hotel paid Yoko per day
= 38 + 75
= $113
Amount that the hotel paid Yoko for 19 days
= 19 x 113
= $2147
Answer(s): $2147
