Question

18. An auto repair job consisted of a new timing belt and a brake job. The timing belt kit cost $89.95 and required 4.6 hours of labor. The brake pads cost $57.95 and required 1.8 hours of labor. If the labor rate is $95/hour, find the total cost of all repairs before tax.

Answer 1

Answer: $755.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of all repairs is the sum of the timing belt kit cost, the brake pads cost, and the labor cost.

Since they require 4.6 hours for the timing belt kit and 1.8 hours for the brake pads. the total labor cost is:

$95 * (4.6 hours + 1.8 hours )

$95 * (6.4 hours)

$608

Because the labor rate is $95/hour

Therefore, the total cost of repair is:

$89.95 + $57.95 + $608 = $755.9

So, the answer is $755.9
