<u>Answer:</u>
$50 and $115
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We know that,
the sum of the two rates = $165 per hour
Let x and (165 - x) represent the $/hour of the 15hr and 5hr mechanics respectively.
Then combining their charges together to get:
Solving for x to get:
So the rate charged per hour by one mechanic is $50 and for the other mechanic = $115.

Answer:
We end up with our original number
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be our number
We increase by 100
increase = old number * 100%
increase = x*1
increase = x
New number = old number + increase
= x+x
=2x
Now we decrease by 50%
decrease = number *50%
= 2x*.5
=x
Final number = new number - decrease
= 2x-x
=x
