Question

John called a plumber to fix a leak in his bathroom. The plumber charged $30 to come to the house and $25 an

hour while fixing the leak. If the final bill was $105, how many hours was the plumber at John's house?

Answer 1

105

Explanation:

25 + 25 + 25 + 30 = 105 so the three 25$ are the hours so three hours plus the fee of the plumber going there

Answer 2

3 hours

Explanation:

We know that $30 of the $105 bill was just to come to the house, leaving $75 of the bill due to the hours spent. Since the rate per hour is $25/hour, that means 75/25 = 3 hours were spent at the house
