Problem Solving Application The mechanic’s bill to repair Mr. Wong’s car was $650. The mechanic charges $45 an hour for labor, and the parts that were used cost $443. How many hours did the mechanic work on the car?
Step #1 1 Understand the Problem List the important information: The answer is the number of hours the mechanic worked on the car. • The parts cost $443. • The labor cost $45 per hour. • The total bill was $650. Let h represent the hours the mechanic worked. Total bill = Parts + Labor 650 = 443 + 45h
Step #2 Make a Plan 2 Think:First the variable is multiplied by 45, and then 443 is added to the result. Work backward to solve the equation. Undo the operations in reverse order: First subtract 443 from both sides of the equation, and then divide both sides of the new equation by 45.
Step #3 3 Solve 207 45h = 4545 650 = 443 + 45h –443–443Subtract to undo the addition. 207 = 45h Divide to undo multiplication. 4.6 = h The mechanic worked for 4.6 hours on Mr. Wong’s car.
