Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$10.20 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$14 per hour |
Ivory worked there 10 hours a day for 18 days in January. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Ivory for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 10.20
= $51
Duration that Ivory worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the cafe paid Ivory for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 14
= $70
Amount that the cafe paid Ivory per day
= 51 + 70
= $121
Amount that the cafe paid Ivory for 18 days
= 18 x 121
= $2178
Answer(s): $2178
