Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$8.20 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$12 per hour |
Marion worked there 10 hours a day for 13 days in April. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Marion for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 8.20
= $41
Duration that Marion worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the store paid Marion for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 12
= $60
Amount that the store paid Marion per day
= 41 + 60
= $101
Amount that the store paid Marion for 13 days
= 13 x 101
= $1313
Answer(s): $1313
