Rate |
First 4 hours |
$11.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$14 per hour |
Sabrina worked there 9 hours a day for 11 days in January. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Sabrina for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 11.50
= $46
Duration that Sabrina worked after the first 4 hours
= 9 - 4
= 5 h
Amount that the store paid Sabrina for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 14
= $70
Amount that the store paid Sabrina per day
= 46 + 70
= $116
Amount that the store paid Sabrina for 11 days
= 11 x 116
= $1276
Answer(s): $1276
