Answer 1

x, the cost of the labor per hour.

The technician at the store worked on the computer for 5 hours = 5x

he charged her $102 for parts

total cost of repair $627

we write the equation to find the price of an hour:

5x+102=627

solve :

5x=627-102

we find x :

5x=525

x=105

cost of 1 hour's labor : $105
