Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$7.60 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Xuan worked there 9 hours a day for 19 days in April. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Xuan for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 7.60
= $38
Duration that Xuan worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Xuan for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 13
= $52
Amount that the restaurant paid Xuan per day
= 38 + 52
= $90
Amount that the restaurant paid Xuan for 19 days
= 19 x 90
= $1710
Answer(s): $1710
