Barbara worked there 8 hours a day for 14 days in September. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Barbara for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 8.20
= $41
Duration that Barbara worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the store paid Barbara for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 13
= $39
Amount that the store paid Barbara per day
= 41 + 39
= $80
Amount that the store paid Barbara for 14 days
= 14 x 80
= $1120
Answer(s): $1120
