Working hours |
Rate |
First 6 hours |
$9.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Gwen worked there 9 hours a day for 12 days in November. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Gwen for the first 6 hours
= 6 x 9.50
= $57
Duration that Gwen worked after the first 6 hours
= 9 - 6
= 3 h
Amount that the store paid Gwen for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 13
= $39
Amount that the store paid Gwen per day
= 57 + 39
= $96
Amount that the store paid Gwen for 12 days
= 12 x 96
= $1152
Answer(s): $1152
