Rate |
First 5 hours |
$9.80 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$14 per hour |
Kathy worked there 10 hours a day for 12 days in June. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Kathy for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.80
= $49
Duration that Kathy worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the boutique paid Kathy for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 14
= $70
Amount that the boutique paid Kathy per day
= 49 + 70
= $119
Amount that the boutique paid Kathy for 12 days
= 12 x 119
= $1428
Answer(s): $1428
