Sabrina worked there 8 hours a day for 13 days in June. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Sabrina for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.40
= $47
Duration that Sabrina worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the store paid Sabrina for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 15
= $45
Amount that the store paid Sabrina per day
= 47 + 45
= $92
Amount that the store paid Sabrina for 13 days
= 13 x 92
= $1196
Answer(s): $1196
