Working hours |
Rate |
First 4 hours |
$10.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$12 per hour |
Emily worked there 10 hours a day for 11 days in July. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Emily for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 10.50
= $42
Duration that Emily worked after the first 4 hours
= 10 - 4
= 6 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Emily for the next 6 hours
= 6 x 12
= $72
Amount that the restaurant paid Emily per day
= 42 + 72
= $114
Amount that the restaurant paid Emily for 11 days
= 11 x 114
= $1254
Answer(s): $1254
