A restaurant paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 6 hours |
$9.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$14 per hour |
Raeann worked there 10 hours a day for 13 days in October. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Raeann for the first 6 hours
= 6 x 9.50
= $57
Duration that Raeann worked after the first 6 hours
= 10 - 6
= 4 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Raeann for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 14
= $56
Amount that the restaurant paid Raeann per day
= 57 + 56
= $113
Amount that the restaurant paid Raeann for 13 days
= 13 x 113
= $1469
Answer(s): $1469
