Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$7.80 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$14 per hour |
Abi worked there 9 hours a day for 18 days in November. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Abi for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 7.80
= $39
Duration that Abi worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Abi for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 14
= $56
Amount that the restaurant paid Abi per day
= 39 + 56
= $95
Amount that the restaurant paid Abi for 18 days
= 18 x 95
= $1710
Answer(s): $1710
