The electrician arrives at Laura's house to fix her broken furnace. The electrician charges 90 dollars for the first hour and 60
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Electrician got 90 for the first hour from the total bill, thus we can say:

330 - 90 = 240 remaining for remaining hours

$60 per hour, so $240 for how many hours?? We divide:

240/60 = 4 hours

So, electrician works 4 hours for 60 per hour = 2 * 6 = 240

and 1 hour for 90 (first hour) = 1 * 90 = 90

Total Bill is 240 + 90 = 330 {exactly what we have}

So we have checked and back-worked our problem to get electrician's total hours of work:

1 + 4 = 5 hours
