Rate |
First 5 hours |

Subsequent hours |

Fiona worked there 9 hours a day for 16 days in September. How much did the hotel pay her?
Amount that the hotel paid Fiona for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 10.80
= $54
Duration that Fiona worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the hotel paid Fiona for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 11
= $44
Amount that the hotel paid Fiona per day
= 54 + 44
= $98
Amount that the hotel paid Fiona for 16 days
= 16 x 98
= $1568
Answer(s): $1568
