Answer 1

Hello Taetreonia,

six recessed lights need to be installed in a ceiling.

Housing for each means, cost of one recessed light house is = $16.45

so cost of 6 housings are. 16.45×6 = 98.70

Similarly cost of 6 trimmings. = 19.86×6 = 119.16

Cost for 6 lamps. = 11.99×6. = 71.94

Miscellaneous hardware and wiring. = 33.45

Labor 3.25 hrs at a rate of 80/ hr. = 80×3.25 = 260

So total cost of the job = 98.70 +119.16 + 71.94 + 33.45 + 260 = 583.25

Hope this helps. If you have any questions, pl contact me through Wyzant.
