127 for parts the total was $227 write and Solve an equation which can be used to determine X the cost of labor per hour

Answer 1

Equation: 

4x + 127 = 227

The per-hour cost for labor, x, was $25 per hour.

Explanation:

We want to find the cost of labor for each hour. They worked on her computer for 4 hours. The per hour cost of labor we don't know, so we can call it x.

The repair shop charges x dollars per hour.

So the total LABOR charge is 4x.

The whole cost is:

Whole_Cost

= LABOR + PARTS

We know the whole cost, $227.

We know the parts, $127.

227 = 4x + 127

To solve, subtract 127

100 = 4x

divide by 4

25 = x

The cost per hour for labor is $25per hour.
