Question

The plumber charged Mrs. Evans $225.00 for materials and $35.00 an hour for labor to fix her leaky sink. The total bill came to $347.50. How many hours did it take the plumber to fix the sink?

Answer 1

3.5 or 3
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

First, subtract. 347.50 - 225.00 = 122.50

Then, divide. 122.50 ÷ 35 = 3.5

Next, you can turn the decimal into a fraction 3
`(1)/(2)`
