Nora worked there 10 hours a day for 14 days in October. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Nora for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 8.50
= $34
Duration that Nora worked after the first 4 hours
= 10 - 4
= 6 h
Amount that the boutique paid Nora for the next 6 hours
= 6 x 15
= $90
Amount that the boutique paid Nora per day
= 34 + 90
= $124
Amount that the boutique paid Nora for 14 days
= 14 x 124
= $1736
Answer(s): $1736
