Joe Watson is a car mechanic who has earned

$14,875 doing one car inspection per day since he
started working 175 days ago. Joe decides to take
off for vacation, and his temporary replacement
charges $135 per inspection at one inspection per
day. While Joe Watson is on vacation, how many
more dollars do the customers spend per day on
car inspections?

answer: $50

explanation:

first divide, $14,875 by 175 to find the amount of money joe used to earn each day, which is $85.

then, subtract $135 - $85 to get $50, which is how much they raised the cost.
