A restaurant paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$7.60 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$11 per hour |
Min worked there 8 hours a day for 10 days in May. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Min for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 7.60
= $38
Duration that Min worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Min for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 11
= $33
Amount that the restaurant paid Min per day
= 38 + 33
= $71
Amount that the restaurant paid Min for 10 days
= 10 x 71
= $710
Answer(s): $710
