Jen worked there 10 hours a day for 11 days in December. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Jen for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 8.20
= $41
Duration that Jen worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the store paid Jen for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 15
= $75
Amount that the store paid Jen per day
= 41 + 75
= $116
Amount that the store paid Jen for 11 days
= 11 x 116
= $1276
Answer(s): $1276
