Answer:

Hey what'sup?

You need to dig a little in, for what it's actually meaning

Here the total is 720 right?

Which came from the materials and the labors work in hourly basis

So it's like

Cost of the material + no of hours = bill

We don't know what the no of hours are, so let's assume it as 'x'

Hence the required equation is

375+35*x=720

35*x = 720-375

35*x = 345

Therefore x=345/35 =9.8

Therefore they worked for 9.8 hours or approximately 10 hours

Peace out
