Rate |
First 5 hours |

Subsequent hours |

Yoko worked there 8 hours a day for 15 days in June. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Yoko for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 11.60
= $58
Duration that Yoko worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the store paid Yoko for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 12
= $36
Amount that the store paid Yoko per day
= 58 + 36
= $94
Amount that the store paid Yoko for 15 days
= 15 x 94
= $1410
Answer(s): $1410
