Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$7.40 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Vanessa worked there 9 hours a day for 14 days in September. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Vanessa for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 7.40
= $37
Duration that Vanessa worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Vanessa for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 13
= $52
Amount that the restaurant paid Vanessa per day
= 37 + 52
= $89
Amount that the restaurant paid Vanessa for 14 days
= 14 x 89
= $1246
Answer(s): $1246
