Question

A professional singer charges $1000 an hour. Her rate increases by 50% after midnight. If she performs one night from 8:30pm to 1:00am, how much will she be paid? .

Answer 1

$5000

Explanation:

Hours until midnight = 3 1/2

Hours until 1am = 1

3 1/2 x 1000 = 3500 = $3500

1 = ( 1000 x 0.50 = 500 (+1000) ) = 1500= $1500

3500+1500 = $5000
