The owner of Wayne's Auto Repair charges a
customer $285 for parts plus an hourly labor cost.
The customer paid for 2.5 h of labor and paid a total of
$490.
What is the hourly labor cost?
O $80.00 per hour
$82.00 per hour
0 $86.00 per hour
O $89.00 per hour

Answer 1

$82 per hour

Explanation:

Total cost to customer: $490

Cost for parts: $285

$490-$285 = $205

There is a total labor charge of $205.

The problem tells us that the customer paid for 2.5 hours of labor.

$205/2.5 hours = $82.00 per hour.
