Working hours |
Rate |
First 6 hours |
$8.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$10 per hour |
Hilda worked there 10 hours a day for 13 days in June. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Hilda for the first 6 hours
= 6 x 8.50
= $51
Duration that Hilda worked after the first 6 hours
= 10 - 6
= 4 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Hilda for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 10
= $40
Amount that the restaurant paid Hilda per day
= 51 + 40
= $91
Amount that the restaurant paid Hilda for 13 days
= 13 x 91
= $1183
Answer(s): $1183
