Answer:
Total net earnings = [tex]80+15(x-8)[/tex]
If Daisy works 13 hours, she will be paid $155.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Daisy works for x hours a day
She is paid $10 per hour for the first 8 hours she works in a day.
So, pay for the first 8 hours =[tex]10\times8=80[/tex] dollars
For every extra hour she works, she is paid 1.5 times her hourly wage.
The number of hours worked over 8 hours is given by = [tex]x-8[/tex]
So, pay for the hours worked over 8 hours = [tex]15(x-8)[/tex] dollars
Total net earnings = [tex]80+15(x-8)[/tex]
And when x = 13
The pay is : [tex]80+15(13-8)[/tex]
= [tex]80+15(5)[/tex]
= [tex]80+75[/tex] = 155 dollars
Hence, if Daisy works 13 hours, she will be paid $155.
