Answer:

hours of work done by assistant = 17.85

hours of work done by plumber  = 35.7

Explanation:

Given data:

charges of plumber is $30

charges of assitant is $15

total labor charge is $1875

let x  is the total hour of job by assistant  

and 2x is total hours of job by plumber

so we have

15x + 30\times 2x = 1875

15x + 90x = 1875

105x = 1875

x =  17.85

therefore plumber work 2x i.e 35.7

hours of work done by assistant = 17.85

hours of work done by plumber  = 35.7

False, once a person passes the age of 65, he or she should NOT stop exercising.
