A boutique paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$8.80 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$13 per hour |
Risa worked there 10 hours a day for 11 days in October. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Risa for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 8.80
= $44
Duration that Risa worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the boutique paid Risa for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 13
= $65
Amount that the boutique paid Risa per day
= 44 + 65
= $109
Amount that the boutique paid Risa for 11 days
= 11 x 109
= $1199
Answer(s): $1199
