A mechanic charged $220.28 to repair a car. The price included charges for 3 hours of labor and $126.53 for parts. How much does the mechanic charge per hour for labor? Enter your answer in the box. $

Answer 1

$31.25, I took 220.28 subtracted 126.53, then with the number I got I divided it by three and got 31.25.

Answer 2

lets x is the labor charges per hour
3x + 126.53 = 220.28

3x = 220.28 - 126.53
3x = 93.75
x = 93.75 / 3
x = 31.25

answer: $31.25 per hour charged for labor
