Kylie worked there 8 hours a day for 17 days in November. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Kylie for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 10.80
= $54
Duration that Kylie worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the cafe paid Kylie for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 15
= $45
Amount that the cafe paid Kylie per day
= 54 + 45
= $99
Amount that the cafe paid Kylie for 17 days
= 17 x 99
= $1683
Answer(s): $1683
