Rate |
First 5 hours |
$11.20 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$15 per hour |
Shannon worked there 8 hours a day for 12 days in October. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Shannon for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 11.20
= $56
Duration that Shannon worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the boutique paid Shannon for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 15
= $45
Amount that the boutique paid Shannon per day
= 56 + 45
= $101
Amount that the boutique paid Shannon for 12 days
= 12 x 101
= $1212
Answer(s): $1212
