Question 392070: One shop will charge $325 for a job that takes 4 1/3 hours. A second shop can do the same job in 4 hours and will charge $285. Which shop has the lower cost per hour rate? Answer by unlockmath(1688) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,
Let's find the rates by dividing.
325/13/3=$75/hr
285/4=$71.25/hr
OK, there we go. the second shop has the lower cost.
Make sense?
