A cafe paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 6 hours |
$7.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Hazel worked there 9 hours a day for 15 days in September. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Hazel for the first 6 hours
= 6 x 7.50
= $45
Duration that Hazel worked after the first 6 hours
= 9 - 6
= 3 h
Amount that the cafe paid Hazel for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 13
= $39
Amount that the cafe paid Hazel per day
= 45 + 39
= $84
Amount that the cafe paid Hazel for 15 days
= 15 x 84
= $1260
Answer(s): $1260
