Question

You need to get your car fixed. You bring it to Mr. Bagnuolo’s Autobody Shop. He charges $60 per hour for the labor and then you must pay $100 for the part. When you pick up the car the next day, you are charged $340. How many hours did it take Mr. Bagnuolo to fix your car?

Answer 1

4 hours

Explanation:

We know

Mr. Bagnulo charges $60 per hour for the labor, and you must pay $100 for the part. Let C represent the cost and x represent the number of hours; we have the equation

C = 60x + 100

Now put 340 in for C and solve

340 = 60x + 100

240 = 60x

x = 4 hours

So, Mr. Bagnuoto take 4 hours to fix your car,
