Duke takes a car in for basic service. The service agent says a few extra repairs are needed, so Duke adds the cost of those repairs mentally, rounding to the nearest 10. What is Duke's total estimate for the repairs? The costs are as follows: Wheel alignment: $82 Transmission fluid flush: $157 Cabin air filter: $58 Note: 4 or less rounds down, 5 or more rounds up. For example, 14 becomes 10, while 15 becomes 20.

Answer:

The total repair cost was around $300 .

Explanation:

I wasn't sure when you were saying to round, so here are two options.

(For rounding at the end) :

82+157+58 = 297

Rounds to 300.

(For rounding as he's adding everything up) :

80+160+60= 300.

So either way it's 300!

Hope this helped!
