A cafe paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 6 hours |
$7.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$14 per hour |
Jade worked there 9 hours a day for 10 days in August. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Jade for the first 6 hours
= 6 x 7.50
= $45
Duration that Jade worked after the first 6 hours
= 9 - 6
= 3 h
Amount that the cafe paid Jade for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 14
= $42
Amount that the cafe paid Jade per day
= 45 + 42
= $87
Amount that the cafe paid Jade for 10 days
= 10 x 87
= $870
Answer(s): $870
