owen and needed to get his computer fixed he took it to the repair store the technician at the store worked on the computer for 5.5 hours and charged him $70 for parts the total is $702.50 what was the total cost of labor per hour

Respuesta :

To figure out this problem, let's set up an equation first to make it easier:

702.50 = 5.5x + 70

x = amount charged per hour

702.50 = 5.5x + 70

-70                   -70

-----------------------------

632.5 = 5.5x

/5.5       /5.5

--------------------

115   =   x

Owen was charged $115 per hour
