Rate |
First 5 hours |
$10.40 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$12 per hour |
Emma worked there 9 hours a day for 15 days in January. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Emma for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 10.40
= $52
Duration that Emma worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Emma for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 12
= $48
Amount that the restaurant paid Emma per day
= 52 + 48
= $100
Amount that the restaurant paid Emma for 15 days
= 15 x 100
= $1500
Answer(s): $1500
