Rate |
First 4 hours |
$10.50 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$14 per hour |
Natalie worked there 7 hours a day for 18 days in April. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Natalie for the first 4 hours
= 4 x 10.50
= $42
Duration that Natalie worked after the first 4 hours
= 7 - 4
= 3 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Natalie for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 14
= $42
Amount that the restaurant paid Natalie per day
= 42 + 42
= $84
Amount that the restaurant paid Natalie for 18 days
= 18 x 84
= $1512
Answer(s): $1512
