Electrician charged $50 a house call and $65 dollar an hour. The job is 6 hours long Will it be cheaper for him to work 6hrs or 2 3hour jobs?

To determine whether it will be cheaper for the electrician to work for 6 hours straight or to split the job into two 3-hour jobs, we will calculate the total cost for each scenario.

1. Working for 6 hours straight:
The electrician charges $65 per hour, and the job is 6 hours long. Therefore, the total cost would be:
Total cost = (Hourly rate) x (Number of hours worked)
Total cost = $65 x 6
Total cost = $390

2. Working for two 3-hour jobs:
Each job is 3 hours long, so the electrician would need to charge $65 x 3 = $195 for each job.
Since there are two 3-hour jobs, the total cost would be:
Total cost = (Cost per job) x (Number of jobs)
Total cost = $195 x 2
Total cost = $390

Comparing the two scenarios, we see that both options would cost the same amount, $390. Therefore, it does not matter whether the electrician works for 6 hours straight or splits the job into two 3-hour jobs.

since the flat fee is less than the hourly fee, the more hours, the more pay.
