Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours. Together they charged a total of $1125. What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $140 per hour?

The first mechanic charged $ 85 an hour, and the second mechanic charged $ 55 an hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that two mechanics worked on a car, and the first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours, and together they charged a total of $ 1125, to determine what was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $ 140 per hour, the following calculation must be performed:

1125/15 = X

75 = X

80 x 10 + 60 x 5 = 800 + 300 = 1100

85 x 10 + 55 x 5 = 850 + 275 = 1125

Therefore, the first mechanic charged $ 85 an hour, and the second mechanic charged $ 55 an hour.

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
