A restaurant paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 4 hours |
$7.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$11 per hour |
Ivory worked there 10 hours a day for 11 days in August. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Ivory for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 7.50
= $30
Duration that Ivory worked after the first 4 hours
= 10 - 4
= 6 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Ivory for the next 6 hours
= 6 x 11
= $66
Amount that the restaurant paid Ivory per day
= 30 + 66
= $96
Amount that the restaurant paid Ivory for 11 days
= 11 x 96
= $1056
Answer(s): $1056
