am i being underpaid? should i quit?

the agreement we came to was $200 a week. when we came to this agreement, i was only supposed to pick up the phone from 8am -9pm, but it seems this has since changed. $200 is less the minimum wage sure but for answering phone calls i thought it was pretty normal. However the past two weeks ive gotten paid there has been a day of that week where our drivers weren’t out, or something wrong with the tow trucks and all that. Because of those days he brought my pay down to $180 for those two weeks. Is that being underpaid? should i quit if i get paid $180 again?
