Gwen worked there 9 hours a day for 20 days in March. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Gwen for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 7.60
= $38
Duration that Gwen worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Gwen for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 15
= $60
Amount that the restaurant paid Gwen per day
= 38 + 60
= $98
Amount that the restaurant paid Gwen for 20 days
= 20 x 98
= $1960
Answer(s): $1960
