Maria is a web designer who runs her own business. She charges and hourly rate of $136. When doing work for a client between 5 pm and 11 pm , she charges a time and a half rate . How much would she charge a client for working from 9 am to 10 pm?

Answer 1

$136 regular rate
$136 x 1.5 = $204 ( 5pm - 11 pm)
9-5pm = 8 hrs
5-10 = 5 hrs

(136 x 8) + (204 x 5)
$1088 + $1020
= $2108

Answer 2

2108

Explanation:

First find the hours between 9 am and 5 pm

8 hours

This is at her regular rate of 136

8*136 = 1088

Then between 5 pm and 10 pm = 5 hours

This is at 1.5 her regular rate 1.5*136 =204

5 *204 =1020

1088+1020 = 2108
