The bill for your automobile repairs was $335. The cost for the labor was $45 per hour per mechanic. The cost for materials was $110. If two mechanics worked together on your car, how many hours did it take them to finish?

(335-110)/45=225/45=5 HOURS OF LABOR WERE CHARGED.
5/2=2.5 HOURS ELAPSED TIME WITH 2 MECHANICS WORKING.
