Answer:
[tex] \displaystyle4 \: \text{hours}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given that,
- The electrician charges $82 for making a house call
- an additional $55.00 per hour of labor
- Mr. K only budgeted $300 for the electrical repair
let the hours be h
from the first condition we obtain:
[tex] \displaystyle 82[/tex]
from the second condition we ge:
[tex] \displaystyle 82+ 55h[/tex]
from the final condition we acquire:
[tex] \displaystyle 82 + 55h \leqslant 300[/tex]
to figure out the hour we have to solve the equation to do so
cancel 82 from both sides:
[tex] \displaystyle 55h \leqslant 215[/tex]
divide both sides by 55:
[tex] \displaystyle h \leqslant 3.9636 \dots[/tex]
since 3.96.... is very close to 4 he can maximum afford 4 hours of labor
[tex] \displaystyle h = 4[/tex]
