Easton needed to get his computer fixed. He took it to the repair store. The technician at the store worked on the computer for 3.25 hours and charged him $196 for parts.
The total was $342.25. What was the cost of labor, per hour?

if i did all the math right it is $45 and hour

Step-by-step explanation:

$342.25 - $196 = $146.25

$146.26 ÷ 3.25 = $45. so $45 an hour

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
