Working hours |
Rate |
First 4 hours |
$8.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$12 per hour |
Marion worked there 8 hours a day for 15 days in March. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Marion for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 8.50
= $34
Duration that Marion worked after the first 4 hours
= 8 - 4
= 4 h
Amount that the cafe paid Marion for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 12
= $48
Amount that the cafe paid Marion per day
= 34 + 48
= $82
Amount that the cafe paid Marion for 15 days
= 15 x 82
= $1230
Answer(s): $1230
