Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$8.60 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$10 per hour |
Kimberly worked there 8 hours a day for 11 days in May. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Kimberly for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 8.60
= $43
Duration that Kimberly worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the store paid Kimberly for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 10
= $30
Amount that the store paid Kimberly per day
= 43 + 30
= $73
Amount that the store paid Kimberly for 11 days
= 11 x 73
= $803
Answer(s): $803
