Working hours |
Rate |
First 4 hours |
$9.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Rachel worked there 7 hours a day for 15 days in December. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Rachel for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 9.50
= $38
Duration that Rachel worked after the first 4 hours
= 7 - 4
= 3 h
Amount that the store paid Rachel for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 13
= $39
Amount that the store paid Rachel per day
= 38 + 39
= $77
Amount that the store paid Rachel for 15 days
= 15 x 77
= $1155
Answer(s): $1155
