Theodore recently hired a contractor to do some necessary work. On the final bill, Theodore was charged a total of $715. $315 was listed for parts and the rest for labor. If the hourly rate for labor was $50, how many hours of labor was needed to complete the job?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Hours of labor needed  = 8 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount total charged = $715

Listed amount = $315

Hourly rate for labor = $50

Find:

Hours of labor needed

Computation:

Total amount of labour = Amount total charged - Listed amount

Total amount of labour = 715 - 315

Total amount of labour = $400

Hours of labor needed  = Total amount of labour / Hourly rate for labor

Hours of labor needed  = 400 / 50

Hours of labor needed  = 8 hour
