Question

A painter charges $15.53 per hour, plus an additional amount for the supplies. If he made $157.80 on a job where he worked 5 hours, how much did the supplies cost?

Answer 1

$80.15

Explanation:

First, you can do $15.53 multiplied by 5 because you want to know how much he makes during the 5 hours. Next, you do $157.80 minus $77.65 because $77.65 is the answer to the first step. The answer to that is the answer to your problem.
