Question

An electrician earns $ 45 for an installation job plus $60 per hour he works . On Saturday , he completed 6 repair jobs and earned a total of $630 . Write an equation and solve for h, the number of hours the electrician worked on Saturday ?

Answer 1

the original equation will be 60h+45

so in order to find hours on Saturday first multiple 45 by 6 to find his fixed pay

45x6= 270
then plug in and solve
630 = 60h + 270
360 = 60h
6 hours
