29. A carpenter worked for 4 days to finish a repair job. She charged $825 for 15 hours plus $278 for materials. What is the carpenter's rate per hour?
Let’s start solving:
=> 825 dollars + 278 dollars = 1 103 dollars is the total payment a carpenter have received
=> 15 hours is the total hours he worked
=> 1 103 / 15 = 73.5 dollars per hour. This is already including the material or equipment fee.
We now look at a right-angled triangle with sides a, b and c, as shown opposite. Pythagoras' Theorem states that, for any right-angled triangle, the area of the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the two shorter sides.
