Kylie worked there 9 hours a day for 15 days in November. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Kylie for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 8.20
= $41
Duration that Kylie worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Kylie for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 12
= $48
Amount that the restaurant paid Kylie per day
= 41 + 48
= $89
Amount that the restaurant paid Kylie for 15 days
= 15 x 89
= $1335
Answer(s): $1335
