Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
20F + 15S = 2250
F+S = 1.35
F= 135-S
20(135-S) + 15S = 2250
2700 - 20S +15S = 2250
5S = 450
S = $90 per hour for the 2nd mechanic
F = $45 per hour for the 1st mechanic
20(45) + 15(90) = 900 +1350 = 2250
there must be a typo in the problem. Either $1.35 was $135
or $2250 was $22.50
Given minimum wages laws, it's likely the sum of wage rates was $135
