    Answer:

    \huge\boxed\text{Equation:}[tex]\huge\boxed{\text{Equation: }119+75x=306.50}\\[/tex]

    \huge\boxed{\text{Hours worked on: } 2.5}

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can create an equation for this problem by converting the words to an equation.

    The flat fee was $119. We then add $75 for every hour worked. This means that this becomes 119+75x. Since the total cost was $306.50, the equation is 119+75x=306.50.

    We can now solve for x, the amount of hours worked, to find it’s value.

    119 + 75x = 306.5\\\\75x=187.5\\\\x = 2.5

    Hope this helped!
