Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$8.80 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$14 per hour |
Jade worked there 9 hours a day for 15 days in March. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Jade for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 8.80
= $44
Duration that Jade worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the cafe paid Jade for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 14
= $56
Amount that the cafe paid Jade per day
= 44 + 56
= $100
Amount that the cafe paid Jade for 15 days
= 15 x 100
= $1500
Answer(s): $1500
