A store paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 4 hours |
$8.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$12 per hour |
Gabby worked there 9 hours a day for 10 days in December. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Gabby for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 8.50
= $34
Duration that Gabby worked after the first 4 hours
= 9 - 4
= 5 h
Amount that the store paid Gabby for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 12
= $60
Amount that the store paid Gabby per day
= 34 + 60
= $94
Amount that the store paid Gabby for 10 days
= 10 x 94
= $940
Answer(s): $940
