Question

An autoshop charged Mr. Rico Php 48 000 for paints and Php 120 per hour for labor to repair his car. If the car was repaired for 2 hours, how much did Mr. Rico pay?

Answer 1

Mr. Rico paid Php 48,240 for the car repair.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost consists of two components: the cost of paints and the cost of labor. The cost of paints is fixed at Php 48,000. The labor cost is calculated based on the number of hours spent on the repair, which in this case is 2 hours. The labor cost is Php 120 per hour, so for 2 hours, it is 2 * Php 120 = Php 240. Therefore, the total labor cost is Php 240.

To find the overall cost, we add the cost of paints and the labor cost:

`\[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Cost of Paints} + \text{Labor Cost} \]`

`\[ \text{Total Cost} = Php 48,000 + Php 240 \]`

`\[ \text{Total Cost} = Php 48,240 \]`

Hence, Mr. Rico paid Php 48,240 for the car repair. The breakdown of costs helps to understand that the labor cost is determined by the number of hours, and in this case, the 2 hours of labor added Php 240 to the overall cost. The final answer reflects the combined expenses for paints and labor in the car repair process.
