Rate |
First 5 hours |
$9.40 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Shannon worked there 10 hours a day for 14 days in September. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Shannon for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.40
= $47
Duration that Shannon worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Shannon for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 13
= $65
Amount that the restaurant paid Shannon per day
= 47 + 65
= $112
Amount that the restaurant paid Shannon for 14 days
= 14 x 112
= $1568
Answer(s): $1568
