    Step-by-step explanation:

    The total amount of the repair is $265 and includes parts and an hourly rate. We are told the parts are $90. Subtract the price of the parts, $90, from the total of $265.

    $265 - $90 = $175

    The $175 is only due to the hourly rate.

    Now we divide the total due to the hours by the hourly rate to find the number of hours.

    175/35 = 5

    Answer: 5 hours
