Question

For how many hours of labor was Jill charged? Leave your answer in decimal form if necessary.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The equation is given below as

$225=95+52h$

Substract 95 from both sides, we will have

$\begin{gathered} 225=95+52h \\ 225-95=95-95+52h \\ 130=52h \\ divide\text{ both sides by 52} \\ \frac{52h}{52}=\frac{130}{52} \\ h=2.5 \end{gathered}$

Hence,

The final answer is

$h=2.5hours$
