A store paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$10.40 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Hazel worked there 10 hours a day for 13 days in October. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Hazel for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 10.40
= $52
Duration that Hazel worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the store paid Hazel for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 13
= $65
Amount that the store paid Hazel per day
= 52 + 65
= $117
Amount that the store paid Hazel for 13 days
= 13 x 117
= $1521
Answer(s): $1521
