Rate |
First 4 hours |
$9.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$15 per hour |
Elyse worked there 9 hours a day for 13 days in October. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Elyse for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 9.50
= $38
Duration that Elyse worked after the first 4 hours
= 9 - 4
= 5 h
Amount that the store paid Elyse for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 15
= $75
Amount that the store paid Elyse per day
= 38 + 75
= $113
Amount that the store paid Elyse for 13 days
= 13 x 113
= $1469
Answer(s): $1469
