    A car repair bill was $441. This included $153 for parts and four hours of labor . Find the hourly rate I was charge for labor

    Subtract the cost of parts from the total repair bill to get the labor cost:
    Labor Cost = Total Bill - Parts Cost
    Labor Cost = 441 - 153
    Labor Cost = 288

    Labor Cost can be broken down into Labor divided by hours
    Hourly Labor Rate = Labor Cost / Labor Hours
    Hourly Labor Rate = = 288 / 4
    Hourly Labor Rate = 72
