Question

An auto shop charges $100 for parts plus $175 an hour for labor. What is the maximum hours they can work on your car to spend no more than $800?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum number of hours can be spend on work is 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

• The fixed charge of an auto shop = $100
• The labor charge of auto shop = $175 per hour
• The maximum money to be spend = $800

Let The maximum number of hours can be spend on work = n hours

According to question,

The maximum money to be spend =

• fixed charge of an auto shop + labor charge of auto shop per hour × maximum number of hours

• Or, 800 =800=100 + $175 × n

• Or, 175 × n =175×n=800 - $100

• Or, 175 × n =175×n=700

• n =$\sf {\dfrac{700}{175}}$

• ∴ n = 4

So, The maximum number of hours can be spend on work = n = 4 hours

Hence, maximum number of hours can be spend on work is 4 hours Answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Cost of parts =100

Amount to be spended = 800

Remaining amount =800-100=700

Cost for labour per hour = 175

Maximum hours they can work on car =

$\frac{700}{175} = 4 \: hours$

So 4 hours is the maximum they can work on your car not spending more than 800 ruppees
