Rate |
First 5 hours |
$11.80 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Emma worked there 10 hours a day for 18 days in July. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Emma for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 11.80
= $59
Duration that Emma worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the cafe paid Emma for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 13
= $65
Amount that the cafe paid Emma per day
= 59 + 65
= $124
Amount that the cafe paid Emma for 18 days
= 18 x 124
= $2232
Answer(s): $2232
