Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$9.20 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$14 per hour |
Ivory worked there 9 hours a day for 13 days in September. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Ivory for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.20
= $46
Duration that Ivory worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Ivory for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 14
= $56
Amount that the restaurant paid Ivory per day
= 46 + 56
= $102
Amount that the restaurant paid Ivory for 13 days
= 13 x 102
= $1326
Answer(s): $1326
