Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$10.40 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Opal worked there 8 hours a day for 19 days in August. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Opal for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 10.40
= $52
Duration that Opal worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the boutique paid Opal for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 13
= $39
Amount that the boutique paid Opal per day
= 52 + 39
= $91
Amount that the boutique paid Opal for 19 days
= 19 x 91
= $1729
Answer(s): $1729
