Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$10.40 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Shannon worked there 9 hours a day for 20 days in July. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Shannon for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 10.40
= $52
Duration that Shannon worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the store paid Shannon for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 13
= $52
Amount that the store paid Shannon per day
= 52 + 52
= $104
Amount that the store paid Shannon for 20 days
= 20 x 104
= $2080
Answer(s): $2080
