Gwen worked there 8 hours a day for 13 days in July. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Gwen for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.60
= $48
Duration that Gwen worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Gwen for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 10
= $30
Amount that the restaurant paid Gwen per day
= 48 + 30
= $78
Amount that the restaurant paid Gwen for 13 days
= 13 x 78
= $1014
Answer(s): $1014
