Question

You used an app to hire a repair worker to do a series of small repairs around your office. The worker charges $54 for the first hour, and $15.50 for each additional 15 minutes. If the worker charged you $162.50, how long did the repairs take

Answer 1

105 minutes

Explanation:

105 minutes or 1 hour and 45 minutes

Answer 2

Answer: 2 hours and 45 minutes

Explanation:

162.50-54= 108.50

108.50 divided by 15.50= 7

there were 7 additional 15 minutes

7 x 15= 105

105 minutes is 1 hour and 45 minutes

add the first hour to the 1 hour and 45 minutes

answer is 2 hours and 45 minutes
