Working hours |
Rate |
First 4 hours |
$9.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$11 per hour |
Tina worked there 10 hours a day for 16 days in December. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Tina for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 9.50
= $38
Duration that Tina worked after the first 4 hours
= 10 - 4
= 6 h
Amount that the cafe paid Tina for the next 6 hours
= 6 x 11
= $66
Amount that the cafe paid Tina per day
= 38 + 66
= $104
Amount that the cafe paid Tina for 16 days
= 16 x 104
= $1664
Answer(s): $1664
