Rate |
First 6 hours |
$9.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$12 per hour |
Tammy worked there 10 hours a day for 20 days in August. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Tammy for the first 6 hours
= 6 x 9.50
= $57
Duration that Tammy worked after the first 6 hours
= 10 - 6
= 4 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Tammy for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 12
= $48
Amount that the restaurant paid Tammy per day
= 57 + 48
= $105
Amount that the restaurant paid Tammy for 20 days
= 20 x 105
= $2100
Answer(s): $2100
