What is her fee and hourly rate ?

Question

Iris charges a fee for her counsulting services plus an hourly rate that is 1 1/5 times her fee.On a 7-hour job,Iris charged $470.What is her fee and hourly rate ?

Answer 1

F + 7 H =470

 

H=1 1/5 (F) or

H=1.2 F

 

solve by substitution 

 

F + 7 (1.2F)=470

F+8.4F=470

9.4F=470

so F=50 and then H = 1.2(50)=60

 

it checks out.
