Rate |
First 5 hours |
$7.40 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$15 per hour |
Dana worked there 9 hours a day for 13 days in July. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Dana for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 7.40
= $37
Duration that Dana worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the store paid Dana for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 15
= $60
Amount that the store paid Dana per day
= 37 + 60
= $97
Amount that the store paid Dana for 13 days
= 13 x 97
= $1261
Answer(s): $1261
