Question

A plumbing company charges $50 for the first hour of a service call and $30 per hour for each hour or part of an hour that a job requires after the first hour. If the Smiths’ bill included $65 for supplies and the plumber worked 2 hours and 35 minutes, how much was their bill?

Answer 1

$175?

Explanation:

You know that the first hour is $50, and the second hour and the 35 minutes are $30 each, making it $60.

Add $60+$50= $110. Then add the parts cost, which is 65, and get $175
