Question

The cost to replace a water pump in a sports car was $899. This included $365 for the water pump and $89 per hour for labor. How many hours of labor were required to replace the water pump?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the final price is $899 and $365 is constant price:

899 = 365 + 89x

We need to find x, the amount of hours, by simplifying:

534 = 89x

x= 6

6 hours of labor
