Working hours |
Rate |
First 6 hours |
$9.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$14 per hour |
Vanessa worked there 9 hours a day for 14 days in December. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Vanessa for the first 6 hours
= 6 x 9.50
= $57
Duration that Vanessa worked after the first 6 hours
= 9 - 6
= 3 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Vanessa for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 14
= $42
Amount that the restaurant paid Vanessa per day
= 57 + 42
= $99
Amount that the restaurant paid Vanessa for 14 days
= 14 x 99
= $1386
Answer(s): $1386
