Question

Jerald is having drain issues at his home and decides to call a plumber. The plumber charges $45 to come to his house and $50 for every hour they work. If the plumber charges Jerald a total of $250, how many hours did the plumber work? Write and solve an equation to determine the number of hours worked by the plumber

Answer 1

Answer: The plumber worked 4.1 hours

Step-by-step explanation: 45 + 50(x) = 250

x = number of hours

Replace x with 4.1

45 + 50(4.1) = 250

45 + 205 = 250

250 = 250
