Lily needed to get her computer fixed. She took it to the repair store. The technician
at the store worked on the computer for 4.5 hours and charged her $193 for parts.
The total was $530.50. What was the cost of labor, per hour?


Sagot :

The cost per hour for the labor will be $75

Total amount charged = $530.50

Amount charged for parts = $193

Number of hours used = 4.5 hours

Let the amount charged per hour = x

Therefore, the equation to solve the question will be:

193 + 4.5(x) = 530.50

193 + 4.5x = 530.30

Collect like terms

4.5x = 530.50 - 193

4.5x = 337.50

Divide both side by 4.5

4.5x/4.5 = 337.50/4.5

x = 75.

The cost of labor per hour is $75
