Working hours |
Rate |
First 6 hours |
$7.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$12 per hour |
Kathy worked there 9 hours a day for 11 days in November. How much did the hotel pay her?
Amount that the hotel paid Kathy for the first 6 hours
= 6 x 7.50
= $45
Duration that Kathy worked after the first 6 hours
= 9 - 6
= 3 h
Amount that the hotel paid Kathy for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 12
= $36
Amount that the hotel paid Kathy per day
= 45 + 36
= $81
Amount that the hotel paid Kathy for 11 days
= 11 x 81
= $891
Answer(s): $891
