Shannon worked there 9 hours a day for 10 days in December. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Shannon for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 9.50
= $38
Duration that Shannon worked after the first 4 hours
= 9 - 4
= 5 h
Amount that the cafe paid Shannon for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 14
= $70
Amount that the cafe paid Shannon per day
= 38 + 70
= $108
Amount that the cafe paid Shannon for 10 days
= 10 x 108
= $1080
Answer(s): $1080
