Two mechanics worked on a car.

Now, mechanic 1 has spent 5 hours working on the car.

Mechanic 2 has spent 15 hours working on the car.

Lets say mechanic 1 charged 'x' dollars per hour and mechanic 2 charged 'y' dollars per hour.

So,

5x+15y=1575 that is our first equation ( 1 ):

And,

x+y=155 that is our second equation ( 2 ):

Using the two equations we can solve for 'x' and 'y', using our first equation we get:

x+3y=315

x+y=155

On solving for 'x' and 'y' we get:

y=80

and putting the value of 'y' in the equation 2 we get:

x=155-80=75

As mentioned earlier, 'x' represents the charge that mechanic 1 charged per hour and 'y' represents the charge that mechanic 2 charged per hour.

We have x=75 and y=80.

So, the mechanic 1 charged $75 per hour and mechanic 2 charged $80 per hour.
