Question

1. Jordan's washing machine is broken. Since her machine is pretty old, she doesn't want to spend more than $100

for repairs. A service call will cost $35 and the labor will be an additional $20 per hour. There are no other
charges. What is the maximum number of hours that the repair person can work without the total cost
exceeding $100?
a. 2.5
b. 2.75
c. 3.0
d. 3.25​

Answer 1

D
We know no matter what she will have to spend $35 it’s the fee. So that’s already $35 out of her 100 dollar budget. So she has $65 dollars left to spend on labor cause 100-35 is 65. If it’s 20 dollars per hour we have to find out which answer when multiplied by 20 is the closest to $65 but you can’t go over 2.5 hours x 20 is 50 dollars 2.75 x 20 is 55 3 x20 is 60 and 3.25 x 20 is 65 since 3.25 costs 65 dollars and is the exact about of money Jordan has left and didn’t go over it’s the right answer

Answer 2

I think it would be D
