Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Tiffany worked there 9 hours a day for 10 days in June. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Tiffany for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 11.20
= $56
Duration that Tiffany worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the boutique paid Tiffany for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 13
= $52
Amount that the boutique paid Tiffany per day
= 56 + 52
= $108
Amount that the boutique paid Tiffany for 10 days
= 10 x 108
= $1080
Answer(s): $1080
