Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$9.80 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$11 per hour |
Gem worked there 10 hours a day for 14 days in November. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Gem for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.80
= $49
Duration that Gem worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Gem for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 11
= $55
Amount that the restaurant paid Gem per day
= 49 + 55
= $104
Amount that the restaurant paid Gem for 14 days
= 14 x 104
= $1456
Answer(s): $1456
