Given:
A painter charges $15.61 per hour, plus an additional amount for the supplies.
If he made $174.09 on a job where he worked 6 hours, determine how much did the supply cost.
Solution:
Multiply 15.61 by 6 in order to get the total amount after 6 hours of work, then we subtract the product to 174.09
= ($15.61)(6)
= $93.66
=$174.09 - $93.66
=$80.43
Final answer:
B. $80.43
