Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$9.20 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Julie worked there 9 hours a day for 15 days in November. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Julie for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.20
= $46
Duration that Julie worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the boutique paid Julie for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 13
= $52
Amount that the boutique paid Julie per day
= 46 + 52
= $98
Amount that the boutique paid Julie for 15 days
= 15 x 98
= $1470
Answer(s): $1470
