A boutique paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 4 hours |
$7.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Min worked there 7 hours a day for 17 days in April. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Min for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 7.50
= $30
Duration that Min worked after the first 4 hours
= 7 - 4
= 3 h
Amount that the boutique paid Min for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 13
= $39
Amount that the boutique paid Min per day
= 30 + 39
= $69
Amount that the boutique paid Min for 17 days
= 17 x 69
= $1173
Answer(s): $1173
