Rate |
First 5 hours |
$7.40 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$14 per hour |
Gabby worked there 10 hours a day for 20 days in September. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Gabby for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 7.40
= $37
Duration that Gabby worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the boutique paid Gabby for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 14
= $70
Amount that the boutique paid Gabby per day
= 37 + 70
= $107
Amount that the boutique paid Gabby for 20 days
= 20 x 107
= $2140
Answer(s): $2140
