1. **Stating the problem:**
We have the charge formula for a repair:
$$C = \frac{20h + xh}{d}$$
where $C$ is the charge, $h$ is hours worked, $x$ is extra hourly charge, and $d$ is discount rate ($d \geq 1$).
2. **Part (i): Find $C$ when $h=3$, $x=3.5$, and $d=1.1$**
3. Substitute the values into the formula:
$$C = \frac{20 \times 3 + 3.5 \times 3}{1.1}$$
4. Calculate the numerator:
$$20 \times 3 = 60$$
$$3.5 \times 3 = 10.5$$
So,
$$C = \frac{60 + 10.5}{1.1} = \frac{70.5}{1.1}$$
5. Simplify the fraction:
$$C = \frac{\cancel{70.5}}{\cancel{1.1}} = 64.09$$
(rounded to 2 decimal places)
6. **Part (ii): Find $x$ when $C=76$, $h=4$, and $d=1.2$**
7. Start with the formula:
$$76 = \frac{20 \times 4 + x \times 4}{1.2}$$
8. Multiply both sides by $1.2$ to clear the denominator:
$$76 \times 1.2 = 20 \times 4 + 4x$$
$$91.2 = 80 + 4x$$
9. Subtract 80 from both sides:
$$91.2 - 80 = 4x$$
$$11.2 = 4x$$
10. Divide both sides by 4:
$$\frac{11.2}{4} = x$$
$$x = 2.8$$
**Final answers:**
(i) $C = 64.09$
(ii) $x = 2.8$
