Working hours |
Rate |
First 4 hours |
$11.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$12 per hour |
Jean worked there 10 hours a day for 11 days in January. How much did the hotel pay her?
Amount that the hotel paid Jean for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 11.50
= $46
Duration that Jean worked after the first 4 hours
= 10 - 4
= 6 h
Amount that the hotel paid Jean for the next 6 hours
= 6 x 12
= $72
Amount that the hotel paid Jean per day
= 46 + 72
= $118
Amount that the hotel paid Jean for 11 days
= 11 x 118
= $1298
Answer(s): $1298
