Xandra worked there 9 hours a day for 16 days in June. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Xandra for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.20
= $46
Duration that Xandra worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Xandra for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 10
= $40
Amount that the restaurant paid Xandra per day
= 46 + 40
= $86
Amount that the restaurant paid Xandra for 16 days
= 16 x 86
= $1376
Answer(s): $1376
