Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$8.60 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$11 per hour |
Fiona worked there 10 hours a day for 13 days in December. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Fiona for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 8.60
= $43
Duration that Fiona worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the cafe paid Fiona for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 11
= $55
Amount that the cafe paid Fiona per day
= 43 + 55
= $98
Amount that the cafe paid Fiona for 13 days
= 13 x 98
= $1274
Answer(s): $1274
