\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Total Bill = Parts + Labor ------> Working Eqn\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "*Take note: Labor = rate x no. of hours
\n" ); document.write( "Let x=no.of hours\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute all given to our Working Eqn:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$1603= $532 + ($63/hr)(no. of hours)
\n" ); document.write( "$1603-$532=($63)(x)
\n" ); document.write( "$1071=($63)(x), divide both side by 63:
\n" ); document.write( "x=$1071/$63= 17hrs total hours of labor\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check,
\n" ); document.write( "$1603 = $532 + $63 (17hrs)
\n" ); document.write( "$1603 = $532 + $1071
\n" ); document.write( "$1603 = $1603\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thank you,
