Answer: 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Taylor cannot spend over $260.

Subtract the cost of the part needed for the repair:

= 260 - 80

= $180

$180 is left for fixing the car after buying the part.

As the labor costs $30 and now she cannot exceed $180 for labor, the total number of hours the mechanic can work is:

= 180 / 30

= 6 hours
