Question

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 20 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours. Together they charged a total of $2150. What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $145 per hour?

Answer 1

115 in hour I believe hope this helps!

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation: 20x+15(160-x)=2625

20x+2400-15x=2625

5x=225

x=45

160-x=115

rate of first mechanic= $45/hr

rate of second mechanic=$115/hr
