Let x and y be the rate per hour for Mechanic 1 and 2 respectively.

Then,
x+y=205 ---------- (1)
Additionally,
10x+15y = 2500 ------ (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2;
Multiply (1) by 10 and subtract two from the result,
10x+10y = 2050
10x +15 y =2500
----------------------
        -5 y = --450 => y = 450/5 = $90
Then,
x= 205-90 = $115

Therefore,
Mechanic 1 charged $115 per hour
Mechanic 2 charged $90 per hour

Answer:

The average speed is:

\var{v}=75\: miles/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed equation is given by:

\var{v}=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

Were:

  • Δx is the displacement (225 miles)
  • Δt is the change in time (3 hours)

Then we have:

\var{v}=\frac{225}{3}

\var{v}=75\: miles/h
