Question

A computer technician charges $60 for coming to your house plus $76 per hour for labor. If the total bill for repairs is $269, how long did the work take?

Answer 1

`2(3)/(4)` or 2.75, depending on what you need.

Explanation:

1. Subtract $269 by the service fee ($60). This will be $209.
2. Divide $209 by $76 to calculate hours. This will be 2.75.
3. (optional) We know that 0.75 is
   `(3)/(4)`, so let's take 2.75 and convert it into
   `2(3)/(4)`. This is your answer.
