Kristina recently hired a contractor to do some necessary work. On the final bill, Kristina was charged a total of $765. $405 was listed for parts and the rest for labor. If the hourly rate for labor was $80, how many hours of labor was needed to complete the job?

405 + 80t = 765

80t = 360

t = 4.5

It took the laborer 4.5 hours
