Rate |
First 4 hours |
$11.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$15 per hour |
Kathy worked there 7 hours a day for 20 days in December. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Kathy for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 11.50
= $46
Duration that Kathy worked after the first 4 hours
= 7 - 4
= 3 h
Amount that the boutique paid Kathy for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 15
= $45
Amount that the boutique paid Kathy per day
= 46 + 45
= $91
Amount that the boutique paid Kathy for 20 days
= 20 x 91
= $1820
Answer(s): $1820
