A cafe paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$7.20 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$12 per hour |
Abi worked there 9 hours a day for 13 days in August. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Abi for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 7.20
= $36
Duration that Abi worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the cafe paid Abi for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 12
= $48
Amount that the cafe paid Abi per day
= 36 + 48
= $84
Amount that the cafe paid Abi for 13 days
= 13 x 84
= $1092
Answer(s): $1092
