Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$10.80 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$12 per hour |
Lucy worked there 10 hours a day for 12 days in January. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Lucy for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 10.80
= $54
Duration that Lucy worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Lucy for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 12
= $60
Amount that the restaurant paid Lucy per day
= 54 + 60
= $114
Amount that the restaurant paid Lucy for 12 days
= 12 x 114
= $1368
Answer(s): $1368
