Rate |
First 5 hours |
$10.80 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$11 per hour |
Olivia worked there 9 hours a day for 12 days in December. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Olivia for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 10.80
= $54
Duration that Olivia worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the store paid Olivia for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 11
= $44
Amount that the store paid Olivia per day
= 54 + 44
= $98
Amount that the store paid Olivia for 12 days
= 12 x 98
= $1176
Answer(s): $1176
