A store paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$7.40 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$11 per hour |
Jane worked there 8 hours a day for 20 days in October. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Jane for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 7.40
= $37
Duration that Jane worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the store paid Jane for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 11
= $33
Amount that the store paid Jane per day
= 37 + 33
= $70
Amount that the store paid Jane for 20 days
= 20 x 70
= $1400
Answer(s): $1400
