A restaurant paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$11.40 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$12 per hour |
Min worked there 10 hours a day for 14 days in July. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Min for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 11.40
= $57
Duration that Min worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Min for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 12
= $60
Amount that the restaurant paid Min per day
= 57 + 60
= $117
Amount that the restaurant paid Min for 14 days
= 14 x 117
= $1638
Answer(s): $1638
