Subsequent hours |
$10 per hour |
Emma worked there 7 hours a day for 17 days in April. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Emma for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 7.50
= $30
Duration that Emma worked after the first 4 hours
= 7 - 4
= 3 h
Amount that the boutique paid Emma for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 10
= $30
Amount that the boutique paid Emma per day
= 30 + 30
= $60
Amount that the boutique paid Emma for 17 days
= 17 x 60
= $1020
Answer(s): $1020
