Question

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 20 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours. Together they charged a total of $2300. What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $175 per hour?

Answer 1

The Mechanic that worked for 20 hours charged $95 per hour. 95 times 20 = $1900

The Mechanic that worked for 5 hours charged $80 per hour. 80 times 5 =400

400+1900= $2300
