Question

Jon has to pay a fix-it man $60 to come to his house and $30 per hour after that how many hours did the fix-it man work if Jon paid him $360

Answer 1

360(total) -60(to come to the house )=300

300÷30(per hour)= 10

So he worked 10hrs.

To check

10hrs × 30 per hr +60 to come to house =360

Answer 2

1) Subtract the base fee
360-60=300
2) Divide the total by the hourly pay
300:30=10
The fix-it man worked for 10 hours.
