Question

1 point The $140 repair bill included $42 for parts and the rest for labor. What percent of the bill was for labor?

Answer 1

we must first find the price of labor

then we subtract the value of the parts from the total

`140-42=98`

the price of the labor was 98$

now to calculate the percent, divide the price of the labor between the total and multiply by 100

`\begin{gathered} (98)/(140)*100 \\ \\ 0.7*100 \\ =70 \end{gathered}`

the percent was 70%
