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 $1600. what are the rate charged per hour by each mechanic. if the sum of the two rates are $215 per hour.

Answers

Answer 1
Let's make,
mechanic #1's rate = x
mechanic #2's rate = y

* Their rate is dollars per hour ($/hr)

mechanic #1 worked for 20 hours (hr × $/hr = $)
20x = money earned by mech#1

and mechanic #2 worked for 5 hours
5y = money earned by mech#2

together they charged a total of $1150. So the amount of money earned by both mechanics.

20x + 5y = 1150

the sum of the two rates was $95 per hour.

x + y = 95

which means
x = 95 - y

plug (95 - y) in for "x" in the other equation to get everything in terms of one variable.

20(95 - y) + 5y = 1150

solve for y

1900 - 20y + 5y = 1150
1900 - 15y = 1150
-15y = 1150 - 1900
-15y = -750
y = -750/-15
y = 50 $/hr

Now use this to solve for x

x + y = 95
x + 50 = 95
x = 95 - 50
x = 45 $/hr

mech#1 charged 45$/hr
mech #2 charged 50$/hr
Answer 2

The rate charged per hour by the first mechanic = $105,

And the rate charged per hour by the second mechanic = $110.

Use the concept of ratio defined as:

A ratio indicates how many times one number contains another number. The ratio of two numbers is written as x: y, which is equivalent to x/y.

Where x and y are individual amounts of two quantities.

And, the Total quantity gives after combining as x + y.

Given that,

Two mechanics worked on a car.

The first mechanic worked for 10 hours.

The second mechanic worked for 5 hours.

Together, they charged a total of $1600.

The sum of the two rates charged per hour is $215.

Assume that,

The rate charged per hour by the first mechanic is = x dollars,

The rate charged per hour by the second mechanic is = y dollars.

The first mechanic worked for 10 hours,

The total amount earned by the first mechanic would be 10 times their hourly rate = 10x dollars.

Similarly,

The second mechanic worked for 5 hours,

The total amount earned by the second mechanic would be 5 times their hourly rate =  5y dollars.

Set up two equations based on the given information:

The first equation is the sum of the two rates, which is,

x + y = 215  ......(i)

The second equation is the total amount earned by both mechanics,

10x + 5y = 1600  .....(ii)

Use substitution to find the values of x and y:

From the first equation, we can express x in terms of y as,

x = 215 - y

Substitute this value of x into the second equation:

10(215 - y) + 5y = 1600

Expanding the equation, we get,

2150 - 10y + 5y = 1600

Combining like terms, we have:

-5y = 1600 - 2150

-5y = -550

Dividing both sides of the equation by -5, we get:

y = 110

Now that we have the value of y,

Substitute it back into the first equation to find x:

x + 110 = 215

Subtract 110 from both sides, and we get:

x = 105

Hence,

The rate charged per hour by the first mechanic is $105, &  the rate charged per hour by the second mechanic is $110.
