Question

To get your car repaired at a certain dealership in Woodstock, the rate charged is $90 per hour worked on your car, plus a $50 diagnostic fee.
1) Create an equation to find the (C)harge to fix the car:

2) If your car was worked on for 4.6 hours what would be the total charge?

3) If the total cost was $800, how many hours was the car in the shop?

Answer 1

C- charge
H- hours
D- diagnostic fee

C= #H(90)+ D

C= 4.6(90)+50
=414+50
=$464

C-$800
H-?
D-50

C= #H(90)+50

800=H(90)+50

H(90)=800-50

H(90)=750

H(90)/90=750/90

H=750/90

H= 8.33333333
