Jade worked there 8 hours a day for 17 days in June. How much did the hotel pay her?
Amount that the hotel paid Jade for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.40
= $47
Duration that Jade worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the hotel paid Jade for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 10
= $30
Amount that the hotel paid Jade per day
= 47 + 30
= $77
Amount that the hotel paid Jade for 17 days
= 17 x 77
= $1309
Answer(s): $1309
