Two mechanics worked on a car. the first mechanic charged  $95   per hour, and the second mechanic charged  $60   per hour. the mechanics worked for a combined total of  20   hours, and together they charged a total of  $1375 .  how long did each mechanic work?

Mechanic A worked for 5 hours and Mechanic B worked for 15 hours

I hope my answer and explanation helped!

okay to get started you need to make a system of equations:

x= number of hours worked by mechanic A

y= number of hours worked by mechanic B

x + y= 20

95x + 60y= 1375

substitute in an equation:

x + y= 20

y= 20- x

95x + 60(20-x)=1375

Solve for x

95x + 1200 - 60x=1375

35x =175

x= 5

plug in x to solve for y

x + y= 20

5 + y= 20

y=15

then you're done :D

step-by-step explanation:

65.00*.12=2.80

65.00-2.80=57.20

57.20*1.06=60.632
