Working hours |
Rate |
First 6 hours |
$8.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$12 per hour |
Raeann worked there 9 hours a day for 13 days in November. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Raeann for the first 6 hours
= 6 x 8.50
= $51
Duration that Raeann worked after the first 6 hours
= 9 - 6
= 3 h
Amount that the cafe paid Raeann for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 12
= $36
Amount that the cafe paid Raeann per day
= 51 + 36
= $87
Amount that the cafe paid Raeann for 13 days
= 13 x 87
= $1131
Answer(s): $1131
