Zoe worked there 10 hours a day for 17 days in September. How much did the hotel pay her?
Amount that the hotel paid Zoe for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 10.50
= $42
Duration that Zoe worked after the first 4 hours
= 10 - 4
= 6 h
Amount that the hotel paid Zoe for the next 6 hours
= 6 x 15
= $90
Amount that the hotel paid Zoe per day
= 42 + 90
= $132
Amount that the hotel paid Zoe for 17 days
= 17 x 132
= $2244
Answer(s): $2244
