Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$9.20 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$11 per hour |
Tammy worked there 8 hours a day for 20 days in September. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Tammy for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.20
= $46
Duration that Tammy worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the boutique paid Tammy for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 11
= $33
Amount that the boutique paid Tammy per day
= 46 + 33
= $79
Amount that the boutique paid Tammy for 20 days
= 20 x 79
= $1580
Answer(s): $1580
