Rate |
First 5 hours |
$10.80 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$14 per hour |
Shannon worked there 9 hours a day for 18 days in April. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Shannon for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 10.80
= $54
Duration that Shannon worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Shannon for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 14
= $56
Amount that the restaurant paid Shannon per day
= 54 + 56
= $110
Amount that the restaurant paid Shannon for 18 days
= 18 x 110
= $1980
Answer(s): $1980
