A cafe paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 6 hours |
$9.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$12 per hour |
Gabby worked there 10 hours a day for 16 days in June. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Gabby for the first 6 hours
= 6 x 9.50
= $57
Duration that Gabby worked after the first 6 hours
= 10 - 6
= 4 h
Amount that the cafe paid Gabby for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 12
= $48
Amount that the cafe paid Gabby per day
= 57 + 48
= $105
Amount that the cafe paid Gabby for 16 days
= 16 x 105
= $1680
Answer(s): $1680
