A plumber finished three jobs on Tuesday. The first two only cost the owner the $45 trip fee because they took very little time to complete. For the third job, the plumber charged the trip fee plus 6 times his hourly rate. If the plumber received a total of $303 for the day, what is the hourly rate?

    X - hourly rate;

    $45 · 2 + $45 + 6 x = $303

    6 x = $303 - $135 = $168

    x = $168 : 6 = $28

    Answer: his hourly rate is $28.
