Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$9.20 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$15 per hour |
Gabby worked there 8 hours a day for 19 days in January. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Gabby for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.20
= $46
Duration that Gabby worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the cafe paid Gabby for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 15
= $45
Amount that the cafe paid Gabby per day
= 46 + 45
= $91
Amount that the cafe paid Gabby for 19 days
= 19 x 91
= $1729
Answer(s): $1729
