Fairview auto repair originally paid its mechanics $20 per hour. now that there is a new owner, the mechanics make 5% less. how much do the mechanics make per hour now

The new amount paid to mechanics per after by new owner is $ 19 Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The amount paid to mechanics initially = $ 20 per hour

Now, The new owner paid less at the rate = 5%

I.e The new amount paid to mechanics per hour =  $ 20 × 0.95

∴ The new amount paid to mechanics per hour =  $ 19
