Tammy worked there 8 hours a day for 11 days in December. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Tammy for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 8.20
= $41
Duration that Tammy worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the store paid Tammy for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 10
= $30
Amount that the store paid Tammy per day
= 41 + 30
= $71
Amount that the store paid Tammy for 11 days
= 11 x 71
= $781
Answer(s): $781
