Zoey needed to get her computer fixed. She took it to the repair store. The technician at the store worked on the computer for 3.25 hours and charged her $59 for parts. The total was $205.25. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine xx, the cost of the labor per hour.

Answer 1

X = Amount paid one hour
205.25 - 59 = 146.25
3.25x = 146.25
x = 146.25 ÷ 3.25

x= 45
