Question

Bubba’s car needed work. The mechanic charged him $160 for parts plus $38 per hour for labor. If the bill totaled $300, how many hours of labor were required.

Answer 1

Answer:

3.7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

h = hours in labor

t = total money

--------------------

160 + 38h = t

160 + 38h = 300

-------------------

Solve:

160 + 38h = 300

38h = 140

h = 3.68421052632

h = 3.7
