Let x be the amount that the repairman charges per hour of labor such that the equation that would best represent the given problem above is,
                      total fee = (hours of labor)(charge per hour) + service charge
Substituting,
                     $93.06 = (2)(x) + 40
The value of x from the equation is,
                                    x = $26.53
Therefore, the repairman charges $26.53 per hour of labor.

Answer:

Repairman charge per hour for labor is $26.53 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A repairman charged $93.06.

The price included 2 hours of labor and a $40 service charge.

Total repairman charged = Service charge + Total hours × Charge per hour .

93.06 = 40 + 2x

93.06 - 40 = 2x

53.06 = 2x
