Question

Peyton needed to get her computer fixed. She took it to the repair store. The

technician at the store worked on the computer for 4 hours and charged her $77 for
parts. The total was $497. Write and solve an equation which can be used to
determine x, the cost of the labor per hour.

Answer 1

The cost of labor per hour is $105.

The expression is 4x + 77 = 497

Explanation:

The expression is 4x + 77 = 497, where 4x represents the cost of labor per hour, 77 is the cost of the parts, and 497 is the total.

4x + 77 = 497

4x + 77 - 77 = 497 -77

4x = 420

4x/4=420/4

x = 105
