Kylie worked there 7 hours a day for 13 days in November. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Kylie for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 7.50
= $30
Duration that Kylie worked after the first 4 hours
= 7 - 4
= 3 h
Amount that the store paid Kylie for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 14
= $42
Amount that the store paid Kylie per day
= 30 + 42
= $72
Amount that the store paid Kylie for 13 days
= 13 x 72
= $936
Answer(s): $936
