Question 178177: can someone please help me with this problem I tried to do it myself but keep getting it wrong.
A repair bill on a yacht came to $1,603 including $532 for parts and the remainder for labor. If the cost of labor is $63 per hour, how many hours of labor did it take to repair the yacht?

--------------------------------
Repair = parts + labor
1603 = 532 + labor
labor = 1071
--------------
labor hrs = 1071/63 = 17 hrs to carry out the repair
