Question

A repair bill for a car is $648.45. The parts cost $265.95. The labor cost is $85 per hour. Write and solve an equation to find the number of hours of labor spent repairing the car

Answer 1

Answer:

( t - p ) /  85x =  h

( t - 265.95 ) /  85x  = h

648.45 - 265.95 / 85x = 3.32h

h = 3.32

Therefore ( t - p ) /  85x =  3.32

Step-by-step explanation:

648.45 - 265.95

282.50 /85

= 3.32 hrs

Finding equation to find hours can be shown as

( t - p ) /  85x =  3.32

How we found equation to find total

Parts = 19 x 14 - 5/100 = 266- 0.05

648.45 - 265.95 = 282.5

282.5/85 = 3.323  near to 3,233529

Labour = 85x  = 17 (5 + x)

Equation = 17(5+ x) + 14(19) - 5/100 = 648.45 where x = 85

Equation = ( 85x x 3  1/3) + 265 - 19/20 = t
