Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$11.40 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Xuan worked there 10 hours a day for 12 days in September. How much did the hotel pay her?
Amount that the hotel paid Xuan for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 11.40
= $57
Duration that Xuan worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the hotel paid Xuan for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 13
= $65
Amount that the hotel paid Xuan per day
= 57 + 65
= $122
Amount that the hotel paid Xuan for 12 days
= 12 x 122
= $1464
Answer(s): $1464
