Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$8.20 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$11 per hour |
Xuan worked there 9 hours a day for 15 days in January. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Xuan for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 8.20
= $41
Duration that Xuan worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the boutique paid Xuan for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 11
= $44
Amount that the boutique paid Xuan per day
= 41 + 44
= $85
Amount that the boutique paid Xuan for 15 days
= 15 x 85
= $1275
Answer(s): $1275
