Question

A computer technician charges $60 for coming to your house plus $76 per hour for labor. If the total bill for repairs is $269, how long did the work take?

Answer 1

Answer:

$2\frac{3}{4}$ or 2.75, depending on what you need.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract $269 by the service fee ($60). This will be $209.
2. Divide $209 by $76 to calculate hours. This will be 2.75.
3. (optional) We know that 0.75 is $\frac{3}{4}$, so let's take 2.75 and convert it into $2\frac{3}{4}$. This is your answer.
