Vanessa worked there 7 hours a day for 19 days in September. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Vanessa for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 8.50
= $34
Duration that Vanessa worked after the first 4 hours
= 7 - 4
= 3 h
Amount that the store paid Vanessa for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 10
= $30
Amount that the store paid Vanessa per day
= 34 + 30
= $64
Amount that the store paid Vanessa for 19 days
= 19 x 64
= $1216
Answer(s): $1216
