Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$8.20 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$11 per hour |
Eva worked there 10 hours a day for 16 days in December. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Eva for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 8.20
= $41
Duration that Eva worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the cafe paid Eva for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 11
= $55
Amount that the cafe paid Eva per day
= 41 + 55
= $96
Amount that the cafe paid Eva for 16 days
= 16 x 96
= $1536
Answer(s): $1536
