A hotel paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$9.20 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Min worked there 8 hours a day for 20 days in August. How much did the hotel pay her?
Amount that the hotel paid Min for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.20
= $46
Duration that Min worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the hotel paid Min for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 13
= $39
Amount that the hotel paid Min per day
= 46 + 39
= $85
Amount that the hotel paid Min for 20 days
= 20 x 85
= $1700
Answer(s): $1700
