Answer:

The maximum number of hours the repairman estimated for the job is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's simple. First, all you have to do is start with the budget he gave you and subtract the fixed price.

225 - 35 - 40 = 150

Then, use the money you have left over (150) and divide by how much he pays per hour which equals 5.

150/30 = 5
