A cafe paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 4 hours |
$11.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$15 per hour |
Abi worked there 7 hours a day for 10 days in September. How much did the cafe pay her?
Amount that the cafe paid Abi for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 11.50
= $46
Duration that Abi worked after the first 4 hours
= 7 - 4
= 3 h
Amount that the cafe paid Abi for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 15
= $45
Amount that the cafe paid Abi per day
= 46 + 45
= $91
Amount that the cafe paid Abi for 10 days
= 10 x 91
= $910
Answer(s): $910
