Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$8.80 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$11 per hour |
Eva worked there 9 hours a day for 17 days in April. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Eva for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 8.80
= $44
Duration that Eva worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the boutique paid Eva for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 11
= $44
Amount that the boutique paid Eva per day
= 44 + 44
= $88
Amount that the boutique paid Eva for 17 days
= 17 x 88
= $1496
Answer(s): $1496
