Question

A mechanic repairs Mr. Estes car the amount for parts is $48 and the rate for the mechanic is $40 per hour. Write and solve an equation to find the total cost of repairs to Mr. Estes car if the mechanic works for 1.5 hours

Answer 1

y = 48 + 40h....where y is the total cost and h is the number of hrs worked

so if he worked 1.5 hrs....h = 1.5

y = 48 + 40(1.5)
y = 48 + 60
y = 108 <===
