A store paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 6 hours |
$7.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$12 per hour |
Olivia worked there 10 hours a day for 14 days in November. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Olivia for the first 6 hours
= 6 x 7.50
= $45
Duration that Olivia worked after the first 6 hours
= 10 - 6
= 4 h
Amount that the store paid Olivia for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 12
= $48
Amount that the store paid Olivia per day
= 45 + 48
= $93
Amount that the store paid Olivia for 14 days
= 14 x 93
= $1302
Answer(s): $1302
