Question

A lawyer charges $100 per month for a client. The lawyer also charges an hourly rate of $75 for work done. How many hours does the lawyer have to work for a client, in one month, to charge $625?

Answer 1

Answer:

7 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given The lawyer charges $100 per month for a client.

Also he charges $75 per hour

Let the hours he worked for the client be x

The money the lawyer gets from the hourly charges is $75x

The total money the lawyer charged is $625

total money = monthly charges + hourly charges

625=100 + 75x

75x=525

x=525/75=7

Therefore the lawyer has to work for 7 hours to charge $625
