Subsequent hours |

Tammy worked there 10 hours a day for 19 days in November. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Tammy for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 7.40
= $37
Duration that Tammy worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the store paid Tammy for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 13
= $65
Amount that the store paid Tammy per day
= 37 + 65
= $102
Amount that the store paid Tammy for 19 days
= 19 x 102
= $1938
Answer(s): $1938
