Question

A mechanic billed a customer for 4 hrs. labor plus 215 for parts the total bill was for 375. how much did the mechanic charge for labor per hour?

Please, I need the equation and the answer​

Answer 1

$40

Explanation:

Well, since he was charged an extra 215 for parts, we can subtract that from the total bill, 375.

375-215=160.

Now that you only have the amount charged for the 4 hours, 160, you can divide that by 4.

160/4=40.

Now we know that the mechanic charged $40 an hour for his labor.
