Rate |
First 5 hours |
$9.20 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Esther worked there 10 hours a day for 14 days in October. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Esther for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.20
= $46
Duration that Esther worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the boutique paid Esther for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 13
= $65
Amount that the boutique paid Esther per day
= 46 + 65
= $111
Amount that the boutique paid Esther for 14 days
= 14 x 111
= $1554
Answer(s): $1554
