Question 56417
To build a boat dock of 2.5m to 3.0m, a onstruction store are asking $1000 for the materials plus another 30/h for the labour. The store prepares an estimation of 1480 for the total. How long of time would the labor need to take
to build the dock if the cost is 1480. Give a complete solution.
----------------
Let "x" be the number of hours to do the job.
EQUATION:
Cost to do the job = $1000+$30x
If cost =1480, 1000+30x=1480
30x=480
x=16 hours.
