Answer:

4

Explanation:

The total amount was $120.

A portion of the $120 was for parts.

The rest of the $120 was for service. Service cost $12 per hour.

Start with $120.

Subtract $72 to find the amount spent on service.

$120 - $72 = $48

$48 was spent on service.

The service costs $12 per hour.

$48/($12/hour) = 4 hours

Answer: 4 hours

Check:

$72 in parts + 4 hours * $12/hour = $72 + $48 = $120

4 hours is correct.
