Rate |
First 5 hours |
$7.80 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$10 per hour |
Barbara worked there 10 hours a day for 12 days in August. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Barbara for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 7.80
= $39
Duration that Barbara worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the cafe paid Barbara for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 10
= $50
Amount that the cafe paid Barbara per day
= 39 + 50
= $89
Amount that the cafe paid Barbara for 12 days
= 12 x 89
= $1068
Answer(s): $1068
