Question

Peyton needed to get her computer fixed. She took it to the repair store. The technician at the store worked on the computer for 4 hours and charged her $77 for parts. The total was $497. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine xx, the cost of the labor per hour.

Answer 1

Answer:

105 per hour = x

Step-by-step explanation:

You subtract the parts cost of 77 from the total first.

497 - 77 = 420

Then you divide the 420 by 4 to get the unit rate per hour.

420/4

= 105
