A store paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$9.60 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$14 per hour |
Yen worked there 9 hours a day for 10 days in November. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Yen for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.60
= $48
Duration that Yen worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the store paid Yen for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 14
= $56
Amount that the store paid Yen per day
= 48 + 56
= $104
Amount that the store paid Yen for 10 days
= 10 x 104
= $1040
Answer(s): $1040
