ES 16
Hudson is having his car repaired. The mechanic said it would cost at least $425 for parts
and labor. The cost of the parts was $200 and the mechanic charges $75 per hour for
labor. Write and solve an inequality to find how many hours the mechanic plans to work on
the car. Interpret the solution.

Answer 1

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

3x75= 225   so you add 225 to 220 and then you get 425    so for every 3 hours he charges 75 dollars

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = # of hours work done on the car

The inequality can written as

425 =< 75x + 200

where 425 represents the minimum cost for Hudson and 75 is the repair rate per hour charged by the mechanic. Solving this inequality, we find that

225 =< 75x

or

x >= 3

This means that the mechanic will take at least 3 hrs to work on his car.
