A cafe paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$8.60 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$11 per hour |
Min worked there 9 hours a day for 12 days in August. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Min for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 8.60
= $43
Duration that Min worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the cafe paid Min for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 11
= $44
Amount that the cafe paid Min per day
= 43 + 44
= $87
Amount that the cafe paid Min for 12 days
= 12 x 87
= $1044
Answer(s): $1044
