A boutique paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 4 hours |
$8.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$10 per hour |
Risa worked there 10 hours a day for 17 days in March. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Risa for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 8.50
= $34
Duration that Risa worked after the first 4 hours
= 10 - 4
= 6 h
Amount that the boutique paid Risa for the next 6 hours
= 6 x 10
= $60
Amount that the boutique paid Risa per day
= 34 + 60
= $94
Amount that the boutique paid Risa for 17 days
= 17 x 94
= $1598
Answer(s): $1598
