Emma worked there 9 hours a day for 14 days in July. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Emma for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 9.50
= $38
Duration that Emma worked after the first 4 hours
= 9 - 4
= 5 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Emma for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 12
= $60
Amount that the restaurant paid Emma per day
= 38 + 60
= $98
Amount that the restaurant paid Emma for 14 days
= 14 x 98
= $1372
Answer(s): $1372
