You can put this solution on YOUR website! joe handyman has a standard charge for making a house call, plus an additional hourly fee. If he charges $75 for a 1-hour job, $115 for a 2-hour job and $155 for a 3-hour job, what is the standard charge for the house call
------
Let "x" be the hourly charge:
c + x = 75
c + 2x = 115
c + 3x = 155
-------------------
Subtract the 1st 2 to solve for "x":
x = 115-75 = $40.00
-----------------------
Therefoe standard charge = c + 40 = 75
c = $35.00
