Answer:

Sarah can have the plumber work on her faucet for six (6) hours maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi

As Sarah has only $234.50 in her savings and the plumber charges $50 just to come to her home, so left-over $184.50 of her saving for pay work hours.

Then as the plumber charges $30.75 per hour we have that $\frac{\$ 184.50}{\$ 30.75/h}=6h$ is the maximum amount of hours that Sarah can have the plumber work on her faucet.
