Working hours |
Rate |
First 4 hours |
$11.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$14 per hour |
Victoria worked there 10 hours a day for 12 days in October. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Victoria for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 11.50
= $46
Duration that Victoria worked after the first 4 hours
= 10 - 4
= 6 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Victoria for the next 6 hours
= 6 x 14
= $84
Amount that the restaurant paid Victoria per day
= 46 + 84
= $130
Amount that the restaurant paid Victoria for 12 days
= 12 x 130
= $1560
Answer(s): $1560
