Rate |
First 5 hours |
$8.20 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$14 per hour |
Roshel worked there 9 hours a day for 19 days in March. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Roshel for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 8.20
= $41
Duration that Roshel worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Roshel for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 14
= $56
Amount that the restaurant paid Roshel per day
= 41 + 56
= $97
Amount that the restaurant paid Roshel for 19 days
= 19 x 97
= $1843
Answer(s): $1843
