Subsequent hours |

Anna worked there 8 hours a day for 18 days in November. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Anna for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 10.40
= $52
Duration that Anna worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the cafe paid Anna for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 15
= $45
Amount that the cafe paid Anna per day
= 52 + 45
= $97
Amount that the cafe paid Anna for 18 days
= 18 x 97
= $1746
Answer(s): $1746
