A repair bill for a car is $648.45. The parts cost $265.95. The labor cost is $85 per hour. Write and solve an equation to find the number of hours spent repairing the car.
Let h be the number of hours spent repairing the car. We set up the cost function C(h):
C(h) = Labor Cost per hour * h + Parts Cost
We're given C(h) = 648.85, parts cost = 265.95, and labor cost per hour of 85, so we have:
85h + 265.95 = 648.85
To solve this equation, we type this into our search engine and we get:
h = 4.5
Let h be the number of hours spent repairing the car. We set up the cost function C(h):
