Working hours |
Rate |
First 4 hours |
$8.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Linda worked there 10 hours a day for 19 days in March. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Linda for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 8.50
= $34
Duration that Linda worked after the first 4 hours
= 10 - 4
= 6 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Linda for the next 6 hours
= 6 x 13
= $78
Amount that the restaurant paid Linda per day
= 34 + 78
= $112
Amount that the restaurant paid Linda for 19 days
= 19 x 112
= $2128
Answer(s): $2128
