Question

A plumber charges $50 per hour plus $75 service fee. Jackson hired a plumber to fix a leaky sink. What are the total charges of the plumber took 3 1/2 hours to complete the repairs

Answer 1

I think it’s 250 hope it helps

Answer 2

$250.

Explanation:

1. We know that 1/2 as a number is 0.50 so
   `3(1)/(2)` is 3.50. Multiply
   `3(1)/(2)` by 50 (hourly fee) and you will get $175 for 3 1/2 hours of work
2. Add $175 and the $75 service fee and you will get $250 as your total. This is your answer.
