Kimo's car needed work. The mechanic charged him $140 for parts plus $48 per hour for labor. If the bill totaled $260, how many hours of labor were required?

Respuesta :

Hi!

We will find the hours of labor, x, like this:

140 + 48 * x = 260

48 * x = 260 - 140

48 * x = 120

x = 120/48

x = 2,5 hours of labor were required

Hope this helps!
