A cafe paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$7.60 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$11 per hour |
Linda worked there 10 hours a day for 13 days in March. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Linda for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 7.60
= $38
Duration that Linda worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the cafe paid Linda for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 11
= $55
Amount that the cafe paid Linda per day
= 38 + 55
= $93
Amount that the cafe paid Linda for 13 days
= 13 x 93
= $1209
Answer(s): $1209
