Answer :

The cost charged for rewinding a motor that costs $287.00 new, when charged at a rate of 33%, would be $94.71.

The student asked about the cost to rewind an electric motor, given the cost of a new motor and a percentage charged for rewinding. If a new motor costs $287.00 and the electrical repairer charges 33% for a rewinding job, we calculate the amount charged for rewinding by multiplying the cost of the new motor by the percentage (converted to decimal form).

To calculate the cost: 287.00 imes 0.33 = $94.71.

Therefore, the cost charged for rewinding the motor would be $94.71.
