A store paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 4 hours |
$11.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Jean worked there 7 hours a day for 10 days in November. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Jean for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 11.50
= $46
Duration that Jean worked after the first 4 hours
= 7 - 4
= 3 h
Amount that the store paid Jean for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 13
= $39
Amount that the store paid Jean per day
= 46 + 39
= $85
Amount that the store paid Jean for 10 days
= 10 x 85
= $850
Answer(s): $850
