Tammy worked there 10 hours a day for 20 days in March. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Tammy for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.20
= $46
Duration that Tammy worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the store paid Tammy for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 14
= $70
Amount that the store paid Tammy per day
= 46 + 70
= $116
Amount that the store paid Tammy for 20 days
= 20 x 116
= $2320
Answer(s): $2320
