Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$7.40 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Kimberly worked there 8 hours a day for 11 days in January. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Kimberly for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 7.40
= $37
Duration that Kimberly worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the boutique paid Kimberly for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 13
= $39
Amount that the boutique paid Kimberly per day
= 37 + 39
= $76
Amount that the boutique paid Kimberly for 11 days
= 11 x 76
= $836
Answer(s): $836
