parts to fix your car cost $55.35. the mechanic charges $35 per hour for labor. the final bill is $177.85. how long did the mechanic work on your car? write and solve an equation. show work.
i got; 177.85 - 55.35 = x
x / 35 =
is this almost right?
im not sure how to do this?
You're right.
177.85 - 55.35 = x
x = 122.50 / 35.00 = 3.5hours
3.5 hours is the answer of how long the mechanic worked
this seemed hard. but really is this how i would write it out.
im doubting myself. but you say im right. so good
You're doing great, Marko!
