Calculation:
Let, the total number of hours worked be x hours.
Hence, total Labor cost (L)=$48x
According to the statement,
C+L=T
265+48x=553
265+48x265=553265 (Subtracting both sides by 265)
48x=288
48x48=28848 (Dividing both sides by 48)
x=6
Conclusion:
Hence, the labor has worked for 6 hours to repair the car.
