A store paid its service staff at a rate shown in the table.
Working hours |
Rate |
First 5 hours |
$8.60 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$11 per hour |
Jaslyn worked there 10 hours a day for 14 days in January. How much did the store pay her?
Amount that the store paid Jaslyn for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 8.60
= $43
Duration that Jaslyn worked after the first 5 hours
= 10 - 5
= 5 h
Amount that the store paid Jaslyn for the next 5 hours
= 5 x 11
= $55
Amount that the store paid Jaslyn per day
= 43 + 55
= $98
Amount that the store paid Jaslyn for 14 days
= 14 x 98
= $1372
Answer(s): $1372
