Nora worked there 9 hours a day for 14 days in January. How much did the hotel pay her?
Amount that the hotel paid Nora for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 9.50
= $38
Duration that Nora worked after the first 4 hours
= 9 - 4
= 5 h
Amount that the hotel paid Nora for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 13
= $65
Amount that the hotel paid Nora per day
= 38 + 65
= $103
Amount that the hotel paid Nora for 14 days
= 14 x 103
= $1442
Answer(s): $1442
