Question

Jayden needed to get his computer fixed. He took it to the repair store. The technician at the store worked on the computer for 3.75 hours and charged him $60 for parts. The total was $528.75. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine xx, the cost of the labor per hour.

Answer 1

$125 and hour - (528.75 - 60) / 3.75

Explanation:

Since the total includes the $60 for the parts, we have to subtract 60 from 528.75. Once we've found the difference (468.75), we can divide by the amount of hours (3.75). That leaves us with the answer, $125.
